OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) 12,000 Palestinian worshipers were allowed to perform Friday prayer in the Aqsa Mosque, as Israeli police banned the entry of hundreds of people into the holy site.
The Islamic Endowments Department affirmed that only 15,000 worshipers were allowed in as Israeli police banned the entry of hundreds of people into the holy site for the 16th consecutive Friday prayer.
Ahead of the Friday prayer, the Israeli police blocked several roads leading to the Old City of Jerusalem and hindered the movement of Palestinian citizens.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces prevented worshipers in the Wadi al-Joz neighborhood in Occupied Jerusalem from performing the Friday prayer and attacked them with teargas bombs and wastewater.
Many of the worshipers and journalists were injured during the attack.
