More than 100,000 Palestinian worshippers performed the Taraweeh prayer in Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem on the second Friday of the holy month of Ramzan, March 22.
This comes despite Israeli occupation forces (IOF) imposing restrictions on entering Al-Aqsa, which have been heightened on Fridays since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas on October 7, 2023, according to the Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem.
Israeli forces intensified their deployment in the Old City of Jerusalem and at the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque, in an attempt to obstruct the arrival of residents heading to perform the Isha and Taraweeh prayers in Al-Aqsa, Palestinian News Agency WAFA reported.
