Israel has lifted restrictions at Jerusalem's holy sites, allowing worshippers to return after nearly six weeks of conflict with Iran. The decision follows a fragile ceasefire, with police deploying hundreds of personnel to manage access to Christian, Jewish, and Muslim holy places previously restricted due to missile attacks. These restrictions had significantly impacted religious celebrations like Lent, Passover, and Ramadan, with sites like Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall now reopened.
