Occupied Jerusalem: Around 80,000 Palestinians performed the first Friday prayer of Ramadan at Al Aqsa Mosque despite strict Israeli restrictions.
The Jerusalem Governorate stated that Israeli forces prevented thousands from reaching the mosque, turning back worshippers at Qalandia and (300) checkpoints.
Security measures around the mosque and the city were intensified, and over 300 Jerusalemites were recently barred from entering Al Aqsa during Ramadan.
