The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) said that the Islamic Awqaf Department in Jerusalem estimated that over 35,000 residents performed Friday prayer within Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The occupation forces have tightened their protocols at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the entrances to the Old City since the beginning of the compreh- ensive Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, including Jerusalem, in October 2023.
