Tens of Thousands Pray at Al Aqsa Amid Tight Measures
Occupied Jerusalem, May 01 (QNA) - Tens of thousands of Palestinians performed Friday prayers at Al Aqsa Mosque despite tightened Israeli measures in and around the Old City of Jerusalem.
Palestinian media reported that Israeli forces deployed across the city, set up barriers at Old City gates and Al Aqsa entrances, checked IDs, detained some youths, and barred others from accessing the mosque.
Israeli authorities continue to restrict thousands of West Bank Palestinians from reaching Jerusalem for prayers, requiring special permits to cross military checkpoints surrounding the city.
Occupation municipal crews also issued fines to motorcycles parked near Bab Al Sahira in what was described as a punitive measure targeting worshipers. (QNA)
