Tens of thousands performed Friday prayers in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, despite the strict military measures imposed by the Israeli occupation forces at the gates and entrances of the Old City in occupied Jerusalem.

The Islamic Endowments Department in occupied Jerusalem reported that about 50,000 worshipers performed Friday prayers inside Al-Aqsa Mosque, despite the occupation’s restrictions.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces deployed in the streets of the city and the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and were stationed at its gates, stopping the worshipers and checking their personal cards.
