Occupied Jerusalem, June 6 (QNA) – Tens of thousands of worshippers performed Eid Al-Adha prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque this morning.
The chants of “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) were heard, heralding the first day of Eid, amidst large crowds of worshippers, despite restrictions imposed by the occupation and its settlers.
Meanwhile, Israeli settlers engaged in provocative actions against worshippers leaving Al-Aqsa Mosque, singing and chanting. They positioned themselves on Al-Mujahideen Street between Bab Al-Hitta and Bab Al-Asbat.
The mosque’s courtyards were filled with worshippers coming from Jerusalem and across the Palestinian territories, amid a distinct spiritual atmosphere, despite the restrictions and measures imposed by the Israeli authorities at the entrances to the Old City and the gates of the mosque.
Coinciding with Eid Al-Adha, the Israeli occupation authorities continue to impose tight security measures in Jerusalem and around Al-Aqsa Mosque, preventing thousands from entering.
