80,000 Palestinians perform Ramadan prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque

More than 80,000 worshippers have performed Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, according to the Islamic Waqf Department, despite restrictions imposed by the Israeli military on movement from the West Bank. The majority of those attending the second Friday prayer of the holy month of Ramadan were Palestinians living in Israel, as its military capped the number of permits for worshippers traveling from the West Bank to Islam’s third holiest site.
