Palestinian men wait to cross a checkpoint between the West Bank town of Bethlehem and Jerusalem, to attend Friday prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Friday October 6, 2006. The army and police allowed only Palestinian men aged 40 and over to attend the Ramadan prayers in Jerusalem. Israeli troops and Palestinians scuffled at the checkpoint on Friday when hundreds of Muslims tried to enter Jerusalem for Friday prayers during the holy month of Ramadan, witnesses said.
