OCCUPIED AL-QUDS April 26. 2024 (Saba) - Tens of thousands of Palestinians performed Friday prayers in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, in light of the strict military measures imposed by the Zionist enemy forces on access to the mosque.
The Islamic Endowments Department in Quds estimated that about 45,000 worshipers performed Friday prayers inside Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Enemy forces attacked a number of young men near Lions Gate, and prevented them from entering the mosque, coinciding with Friday prayers. They also assaulted journalist Ahmed Jalajel while he was documenting the attacks and abuse of young men.
The Zionist enemy authorities deprive thousands of citizens from the various governorates of the West Bank from reaching occupied Quds to perform prayers in Al-Aqsa Mosque, as they require obtaining special permits to cross the military checkpoints surrounding the Holy City.
Since the start of the comprehensive Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, last October, enemy forces have tightened their procedures at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the entrances to the Old City, and sometimes prevent citizens from occupied Quds or Palestinians from the 48 territories from entering the mosque to perform prayers.
