140,000 Worshippers Perform Eid Al-Adha Prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque Despite Occupation Restrictions

SadaNews - 140,000 worshippers performed the Eid Al-Adha prayer this Wednesday morning at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, amidst military tightening and iron barriers restricting their access.

The sounds of takbirs rose, marking the arrival of the first day of Eid, amid large crowds of worshippers despite the occupation's restrictions.

The courtyards of the mosque were filled with worshippers in a uniquely spiritual atmosphere, despite the restrictions and measures imposed by the Israeli authorities at the entrances to the Old City and the mosque gates.

Worshippers spread out in the mosque's open areas since dawn, while the organizing committees affiliated with the Islamic Waqf Department managed the flow of entry and exit.

The occupation authorities continue to enforce strict security measures in the city of Jerusalem and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque, preventing thousands from entering, coinciding with the arrival of Eid Al-Adha.
