JERUSALEM: Israeli authorities limited access of Muslim worshippers to Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for the first Friday prayers during the holy month of Ramadan, allowing only men over 45 and women over 35 to enter.

In the West Bank town of Bethlehem, soldiers prevented hundreds of worshippers from entering Jerusalem to attend prayers in Al-Qods and some tried to push and shove their way through. Troops fired a stun grenade, setting off a loud blast. One Palestinian was reported slightly injured.

According to witnesses the soldiers allowed through a few faithful of over 55 years of age after the incident.

Meanwhile, the United States offered a 5-million dollar reward in the investigation of a deadly bombing of a US convoy.
