Thousands of Worshippers Perform Friday Prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque

SadaNews - Tens of thousands of worshippers performed Friday prayer today at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, as they gathered there since the morning hours amidst the strict military measures imposed by the Israeli occupation authorities on access to the mosque.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces tightened their grip at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque: the LION Gate, the STERN Gate, the HATTAA Gate, and the COLUMN Gate, deploying iron barriers, stopping young men, and checking their identity cards.

Following the arrival of the worshippers, the occupation forces arrested Jerusalemite Mujdi al-Abbasi from inside the mosque during the Friday sermon.
