Jerusalem: Tens of thousands of Palestinians on Friday morning attended the Eid al-Adha prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque amid tightened Israeli restrictions in occupied East Jerusalem. This gathering took place against the backdrop of heightened security measures and increased tensions in the area.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the event was marked by provocative gestures from Israeli colonists. These individuals engaged in actions aimed at provoking the worshippers as they exited the site, including singing songs and chanting slogans.
The Israeli occupation forces imposed stringent restrictions and maintained a heavy security presence at the gates of the compound and throughout the occupied city. This security measure was part of ongoing efforts to manage tensions and maintain order during the religious observance.
