More Than 70K Palestinians Perform Friday Prayer At Al-Aqsa Mosque
Occupied Jerusalem, Aug. 28 (Petra)-- More than 70,000 Palestinian worshipers performed Friday prayer today at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, despite tightened Israeli security measures at military checkpoints and throughout the city.
The Jerusalem Governorate said in a statement that tens of thousands of worshipers performed Friday prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
According to the governorate, Israeli occupation forces tightened restrictions at military checkpoints on the movement of worshipers heading to Jerusalem, stopping them, checking their identification documents and recording their details.
The forces also erected dozens of metal barriers at the entrances to Jerusalem, as well as at the gates of the Old City and Al-Aqsa Mosque, preventing a number of young men from reaching the mosque.
