Around 40,000 people, according to the Islamic Awqaf Department in Jerusalem, performed Friday prayer in the Al-Aqsa Mosque's courtyards.

According to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), the occupation troops stopped people from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque to perform prayers through Lions Gate, verified their identification, detained many of them, and blocked others from doing so.
