Jerusalem: Despite the severe military restrictions placed on entry by the occupation authority, thousands of Palestinians performed Friday prayer at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem.
According to Jordan News Agency, despite the Israeli occupation forces' limitations on the streets of occupied Jerusalem, the Old City, and the mosque, the Jerusalem Islamic Awqaf Department estimated in a statement that some 40,000 worshipers performed Friday prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Department noted that the occupying forces stopped worshipers from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque for prayer, verified their identification, and detained several young males.
Worshipers' access to Al-Aqsa Mosque is still severely restricted by the occupying forces, particularly on Fridays.
