The occupation prevents worshipers from reaching Al-Aqsa and arrests dozens in the West Bank. Israeli restrictions forced hundreds of worshipers to perform prayers in the streets near the Old City, including Lions Gate, Ras al-Amud, and the Wadi al-Joz neighborhood.

Despite these restrictions, 13,000 Palestinians were able to reach the mosque and perform prayers there. The raids and arrests continue in the cities and camps of theWest Bank as part of a broad Israeli escalation since the resistance launched the Al-aqsa Flood Battle on October 7 last year.
