Despite fears of violence, the first Friday prayers held during Ramadan in Jerusalem passed peacefully.
Some 80,000 worshippers joined prayers in Jerusalem's Old City, according to the Waqf authority.
They headed to the Noble Sanctuary or al-Haram al-Sharif in Arabic, known to Jews as the Temple Mount. It contains the holy Islamic sites of the Dome of the Rock shrine and the al-Aqsa Mosque.
It is the third holiest site in Islam and is also sacred to Jews because two Jewish temples used to stand there.
Muslims are marking the holy month of Ramadan, and Israel has said it will allow them to pray at the mosque during the sacred period depending on the current security situation.
Witnesses said the prayers on Friday ended without any major incidents.
The Israeli Cogat authority published restrictions on the participation of believers from the West Bank after Ramadan began, allowing only men over 55, women over 50 and boys under the age of 10 with a valid travel permit to attend the prayers.
There were isolated arrests at Israeli military barriers in the West Bank, Palestinian media reported, citing witnesses. Some worshippers without travel permits prayed at the barriers.
The Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance service criticized that it had not been granted police access to the Jerusalem site this year.
After hopes faded of a ceasefire in war in Gaza during Ramadan and the release of further hostages held by Hamas, fears grew of a further escalation of violence in the West Bank and the Arab-dominated eastern part of Jerusalem.
Hamas called for resistance to Israel during Ramadan.
Israel's foreign intelligence service Mossad recently said Hamas sought to inflame the region during the Ramadan period.
