More than 40,000 Muslim worshipers perform Friday prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque

The Islamic Endowments in occupied Jerusalem estimated that more than 40,000 Muslim worshipers performed Friday prayer in the holy site despite the strict israeli measures.

The zionist occupation authorities deployed since morning hours police checkpoints at the entrances to the Old City of Jerusalem, checked the identities of the citizens, and prevented a number of them from reaching the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The zionist police forces set up dozens of roadblocks, conducted extensive searches and checks on Palestinians coming from the West Bank and Arab cities within Israel, and prevented many of them from reaching the holy Islamic site. (ILKHA)
