(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency)

Amman, June 5 (Petra)-- Despite stringent Israeli occupation measures at the mosque's gates and the Old City's entrances, thousands of worshipers performed Friday prayer at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

65,000 people performed Friday prayer at Al-Aqsa, with tens of thousands arriving since the early morning hours, according to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), which cited the Islamic Awqaf Department in Jerusalem.

It is important to note that for the past three years, the occupation has barred Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque to perform prayer.
