Thousands of Palestinians performed the third Friday prayer during the holy month of Ramadan at Al-Aqsa Mosque despite strict Israeli occupation restrictions.

The Palestinian Ministry of Islamic Endowments said that more than 150,000 worshipers participated in Friday prayers.

Palestinians flocked to Al-Aqsa from different areas throughout the West Bank, occupied Al-Quds, and occupied Palestinian territories during 1948, in light of the Israeli occupation’s closure of Al-Wad Road towards Al-Aqsa in front of worshipers.

The Palestinians stationed in Al-Aqsa to defend it confronted the IOF attacks in the Mosque's courtyards. The occupation forces fired rubber bullets and tear gas canisters, injuring dozens, 30 of whom were injured in their upper body parts.
