Tens Of Thousands Of Palestinians Perform Friday Prayers At Al Aqsa Mosque

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Tens of thousands of Palestinian citizens performed Friday prayers at the blessed Al Aqsa Mosque, arriving since the early morning hours despite the Israeli occupation's military restrictions.

Local sources reported that occupation forces intensified their military measures around the Old City of Jerusalem, obstructing the movement of worshipers and their entry to Al Aqsa, while police officers were present among the worshipers during the prayer.

A source from the Islamic Waqf Department in Jerusalem confirmed that Al Aqsa Mosque is expected to witness aggression by settlers during the upcoming months of September and October, coinciding with Jewish holidays, which settlers are expected to exploit to increase their incursions and impose new Judaization rituals in the mosque.

He stated that the incursions take place under the protection of occupation forces, during which settlers perform Talmudic rituals, raise occupation flags, prostrate, blow the horn, bring in plant offerings and temple tools, and turn the eastern area into a miniature synagogue.
