Ahlulbayt News Agency: Around 120,000 Palestinian worshipers performed Taraweeh prayers on Monday night at the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied al-Quds, despite Israeli restrictions.
In a brief statement, the Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem said nearly 20,000 worshipers attended Taraweeh prayers at Aqsa Mosque.
Israeli forces imposed tight movement restrictions in the Old City, hindering access to the Mosque.
Taraweeh prayers are special night prayers that are performed following the Isha (night) prayer during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Since the start of the holy month of Ramadan, Israel has tightened its restrictions on Palestinian worshipers’ access to Aqsa Mosque amid growing tensions across the occupied West Bank due to the ongoing Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip.
On the first day of Ramadan, the Israeli forces erected barbed wire on a fence around the Lions’ Gate area adjacent to the holy site.
