Young Palestinian men climb through a barb wire enforced barrier fence near the West Bank city of Bethlehem, in an attempt to enter Jerusalem to attend the second Friday prayers in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan at the al-Aqsa Mosque in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, 17 June 2016. Israeli authorities the week before only allowed access to Jerusalem for women and children and limited the age of men to those over 45. Muslims around the world celebrate the holy month of Ramadan by praying during the night time and abstaining from eating and drinking during the period between sunrise and sunset. Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and it is believed that the Korans first verse was revealed during its last 10 nights. (Photo by Abed Al Hashlamoun/EPA)
