Amman, Oct. 16 (Petra)– Tens of thousands of worshipers performed
Friday prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque despite restrictions imposed by
Israeli occupation forces on people entering Jerusalem.
The Islamic Waqf Department in Jerusalem said tens of thousands of
worshipers performed Friday prayer at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Palestinian media outlets reported that thousands of worshipers had
flocked to the mosque since the early morning hours, while Israeli
occupation forces imposed tight security measures in its vicinity,
deploying large numbers of troops at the mosque’s gates and
throughout the Old City.
The outlets added that Israeli police set up military checkpoints
across the city, inside the Old City and around Al-Aqsa Mosque,
stopping dozens of young men, checking their identity documents and
preventing many of them from entering the mosque.
