Occupied al-Quds- Saba:
Thousands of Palestinian citizens performed Friday prayers at al-Aqsa Mosque, in light of the strict military measures imposed by the Zionist enemy authorities on access to the mosque.
The Islamic Endowments Department in al-Quds estimated that about 40,000 worshipers performed Friday prayers at al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Palestinian News Agency reported that the enemy forces obstructed the worshipers' access to al-Aqsa Mosque to perform the prayer, checked their identities, and arrested a number of young men and prevented them from entering the mosque.
It added that the Zionist enemy forces stormed the Dome of the Rock courtyard in al-Aqsa Mosque coinciding with the Friday sermon.
The enemy forces continue to impose strict restrictions on the entry of worshipers to al-Aqsa Mosque, especially during Fridays.
The Zionist enemy authorities prevent thousands of citizens from the West Bank governorates from reaching al-Quds to perform prayers at al-Aqsa Mosque, as they require the issuance of special permits to cross their military checkpoints surrounding al-Quds.
