Tens of thousands performed Friday prayers in the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque, despite the strict military measures imposed by the Israeli occupation authorities at the mosque’s gates and entrances to the Old City of occupied Jerusalem.
About 75,000 worshipers performed Friday prayers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque yards, from various governorates of the West Bank, including Jerusalem, and within the 1948 lands, according to the Islamic Awqaf Department in Jerusalem estimations.
The Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) reported that the occupation forces deployed in the streets of the city and the Al-Aqsa surroundings, and stationed at its gates, stopped worshipers and checked their identity cards, and prevented many of them from reaching the mosque.
