OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Thousands of Muslim worshipers performed the Isha and Tarawih prayers at the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on the second night of the holy month of Ramadan.
The Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem estimated that 75,000 Palestinian citizens were able to reach the Aqsa Mosque despite the Israeli restrictions imposed on their entry to the Old City of Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces obstructed the worshipers’ access to Aqsa Mosque at Bab al-Amoud and Bab al-Asbat, checked their IDs, and arrested a number of them.
The Hamas Movement has condemned the Israeli occupation police’s recent recommendation calling for restricting the access of Muslim worshipers to the Aqsa Mosque during the holy month of Ramadan, calling it a “dangerous precedent” and a “measure targeting the freedom of worship.”
Hamas affirmed that Israel’s aggressive schemes against the Aqsa Mosque would never succeed in changing its identity and history.
