Palestinians Offer Eid Prayers At Al-Aqsa Mosque In Shadow Of Israeli Guns, Sombre atmosphere
JERUSALEM/ANKARA, June 6 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Tens of thousands of Palestinians offered Eid al-Adha prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Friday morning, despite tight Israeli restrictions and a sombre atmosphere driven by the ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
According to local estimates, approximately 80,000 Palestinians gathered at Islam's third-holiest mosque, entering and exiting while chanting the traditional Eid Takbirat.
Israeli police forces were heavily deployed in and around the Al-Aqsa compound and the Old City before, during, and after the prayers.
