125,000 worshipers performed the third Friday prayer of the holy month of Ramadan in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israeli occupation authorities had deployed their military patrols and soldiers at the military checkpoints, and allowed only specific age groups of the elderly to enter Jerusalem.
These restrictions prevented tens of thousands of worshipers from reaching the mosque to perform prayers. Ramadan this year comes in light of a fierce Israeli war launched by the Israeli army on the Gaza Strip, coinciding with a noticeable escalation in raids, arrests, and killing operations.
