Palestinian Muslims have been praying in the streets outside the mosque complex’s ancient walls since July 14 in protest at Israeli security measures. The decision to return to the mosque was announced after a meeting of the Waqf Council of Jerusalem’s top Islamic figures. It followed a night of street celebrations by thousands of Palestinians who claimed a victory against Israel’s imposition of metal detectors and cameras at the entrances to the holy site after the deaths of two Israeli police officers and three Palestinians in a gun battle. “We call the people of Jerusalem and inside Palestine and anyone who can reach Al-Aqsa Mosque to enter its courtyards,” Sheikh Abdul Azeem Salhab, head of the Waqf Council, said. As Israeli authorities removed the last remnants of security measures, following the removal of controversial metal detectors earlier this week, Palestinians poured into the streets to celebrate. Sweets were thrown into the air, fireworks lit the sky and one man arrived with a car loaded with milkshakes to distribute among the revellers who poured in for the dawn prayers.
