Massive Al-Aqsa prayers on second Friday of Ramadan

On Jul 20, 2013

On the Second Friday of the fasting month of Ramadan in Palestine, thousands flock to Al-Aqsa despite restrictions imposed by the Israeli occupation. According to PalToday an estimated 300.000 worshipers attended the prayers.

Spokeswoman Luba Samri told AFP the prayers passed off “without incident” a week after Islam’s third holiest site saw some 80,000 worshippers throng the compound.

More than 3,000 Israeli police were deployed in the Old City, where the compound is located, and elsewhere in occupied East Jerusalem.

Palestinians from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are usually barred from “Israel” and from East Jerusalem, which Israel occupied in the 1967 Six-Day war and then unilaterally annexed.

Al-Aqsa compound houses both the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosque, the third holiest site in Islam after Mecca and Medina .
