Hundreds of Muslim worshipers on Friday performed the Maghrib (sunset) prayer outside the courtyards of the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, after Israeli police shut down the gates of the compound.

The closure came after the police claimed that an unidentified man attempted to stab a police officer near the mosque.
