Palestinian women gather behind closed gates while they try to cross from the occupied West Bank into Jerusalem, to pray during the holiest night of Ramadan, Laylat al-Qadr, or the "Night of Destiny," when Muslims believe that the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammad, in the Al Aqsa mosque compound, at the Israeli military Qalandiya checkpoint, near Ramallah, Monday, April 17, 2023. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are barred from legally crossing into the contested capital, with most men under 55 years old turned away at checkpoints, and compelled to resort to other, perilous means to get to Al-Aqsa.
