65k worshipers perform Friday prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque

Amman, June 12 (Petra)– More than 60,000 worshipers performed Friday
prayer at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem despite
Israeli occupation restrictions, according to Palestinian sources.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA, citing the Islamic Awqaf Department
in Jerusalem, reported that over 60,000 worshipers gathered at the
holy site. Tens of thousands of Palestinians began arriving at the
mosque from the early morning hours to attend the weekly prayers.

The report noted that Israeli authorities have continued to prevent
Palestinians from the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip from
accessing Al-Aqsa Mosque for prayer for the past three years.
