Amman, Aug. 16 (Petra)-- Given the severe military restrictions the Israeli
Occupation authorities had placed on mosque entry, tens of thousands of people performed Friday prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
About 40,000 people, according to the Islamic Awqaf Department in Jerusalem, performed Friday prayers within Al-Aqsa Mosque.
According to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), the occupation forces are still enforcing harsh limitations on worshipers' access to Al-Aqsa, particularly on Fridays.
Thousands of residents of the West
bank governorates are unable to travel to Jerusalem to pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque because they need special permission to pass through the military checkpoints that encircle the Holy City.
