Israel took control of East Jerusalem (where the Al-Aqsa Mosque is) in 1967, during the Six Day War. However, the Israeli administration chose to allow the mosque to remain under the administration of the Palestinian-led Islamic Waqf or Landtrust. The Israeli government does not "occupy" the mosque in the sense that it controls the the goings-on there.
