35,000 Palestinians attend Friday prayer at the Aqsa Mosque

Tens of thousands of Palestinian worshipers performed Friday prayer at the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem, despite Israeli restrictions.

AhlulBayt News Agency: Tens of thousands of Palestinian worshipers performed Friday prayer at the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Al-Quds, despite Israeli restrictions.

The Islamic Endowment Authority affirmed that around 35,000 Muslims performed the Friday prayer at the holy shrine.

A heavy contingent of Israeli police was deployed at the entrances, surroundings, and alleys of the city, as well as at the external gates of the Mosque.

Earlier Friday, thousands of Jerusalemites performed the Fajr prayer at the Aqsa Mosque despite the Israeli security restrictions at its gates.

Meanwhile, member of the Political Bureau of the Hamas Movement and head of the Al-Quds Affairs Office, Haroun Nasser al-Din, called for mass mobilization in the Aqsa Mosque in the coming days.

Nasser al-Din stressed that the Israeli escalation against the Islamic holy sites, and attempts to Judaize  Al-Quds , represent a direct aggression against the entire nation, which requires escalating the resistance and breaking the Israeli restrictions.

Nasser al-Din said that the ongoing attacks on Aqsa Mosque, including settler raids and preventing worshipers from performing their prayers, require immediate action to protect Aqsa.
