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, after preventing them from reaching Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Despite these restrictions, 13,000 Palestinians were able to reach Al-Aqsa Mosque and perform prayers there.
