Israel police have maintained restrictions on access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for the fourth straight day.
Israeli police have been preventing men under 50 from entering the mosque since Friday.
The compound mosque is Islam's third holiest site. This comes as Israel extended a lockdown on the occupied West Bank on Friday.
There have been several clashes between Palestinians and Israeli troops both in Jerusalem al-Quds and the occupied West Bank in recent days.
Tensions have spiraled following Israel's announcement that it plans to construct 1,600 new homes for Jewish settlers in mostly Arab East Jerusalem al-Quds.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem Al-Quds in 1967 and annexed the area in a move not recognized internationally.
