AhlulBayt News Agency: Tens of thousands of Muslim worshipers reached the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied al-Quds and performed the Friday prayer in its courtyards amid strict Israeli measures.
Al-Quds sources reported that more than 70,000 worshipers performed the Friday prayer in the holy site despite the Israeli restrictions imposed at the gates and entrances of the Old City.
The Israeli police forces set up dozens of roadblocks, conducted extensive searches and checks on Palestinians and their ID cards, and prevented many of them from reaching the holy Islamic site.
The police forces also assaulted a group of worshipers near the Lions Gate and Bab al-Rahma cemetery, while heading to perform the Friday prayer.
Three young men were detained during the attack.
During the Friday sermon, Al-Aqsa preacher Sheikh Ismail Nawahdah said that Occupied al-Quds has been subjected to a fierce attack and Judaization campaign.
He further pointed to the Palestinian total rejection of any attempt to give up or negotiate over al-Quds.
Sheikh Nawahdah called on Muslims all over the world to stay alert in light of the rising plots against them.
Following the Friday prayer, the Palestinian worshipers gathered in the Al-Aqsa yard, chanting in support of the Palestinian resistance and in protest against the Nablus crime.
