News Desk: Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest mosque for Muslims in Jerusalem, Palestine. It is now a regular occurrence for Israelis to be prevented from praying in this holy mosque. Burj Al-Lukluk, a Palestinian social and cultural organization, has created a mobile game to make this event virtual. The Guardians of Al-Aqsa game went viral in Palestine shortly after its release last week.

According to various media outlets in the Middle East, the first version of the game has been downloaded by more than two lakh users online. The second version of the game is being launched this week. Muntasir, head of the Palestinian social and cultural organization Burj al-Lukluk, said more than half of the users of the game, created by his organization, were from Turkey, Europe and Indonesia. He said that considering the popularity of the video game, it is being made in several languages.

Referring to the non-violent nature of the game, Al-Lukluk said that it conveys the message to the players that the key to the gate, the release of Al-Aqsa, can only be achieved through the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom.

In the third week of February, Israeli police closed the Al-Rahma Gate on the Al-Aqsa compound and prevented worshipers from entering. The Palestinians protested for several days.
