recent days if not weeks, might show that the restrictions do not work as a solution around the conflict of the al-aqsa mosque compound and the old city as a whole, access to the whole of the old city being blocked to most people, particularly muslims, those who actually do want to pray, well, there's a restriction there, as well. only people over the age of 50 are to enter the al-aqsa mosque compound and not through the normal route, the damascus gate, but through the lion gate. we are told at the arab list at the lions gate, that some who were over 50 were not allowed into the al-aqsa mosque compound. so clearly, these restrictions being imposed are sometimes imposed somewhat arbitrarily,
