Throughout Ramadan, Israel had implemented some restrictions at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israeli authorities had announced that a limited number of people over 50 years old from the West Bank and over 55 years old men would be allowed to enter. Israeli media reported that 10,000 Palestinians from the West Bank would be allowed to go to Al-Aqsa. Palestinians coming from the occupied West Bank to Al-Aqsa were detained at checkpoints, and many were turned back despite meeting age requirements, being told to leave Jerusalem and return to the West Bank by evening.
