According to the Islamic Endowments Department, despite the stringent measures taken by the Israeli occupation authorities, 120,000 people performed the Eid al-Fitr prayer today at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem.
According to the Department, 120,000 people observed the Eid prayer within the mosque's courtyards and compound.
In the mean time, WAFA reporter detailed that the occupation powers attacked Palestinian adolescents, beating them with sticks close to the Lions' Door in involved Jerusalem, while they were en route to play out the Eid petition.
The compound of the mosque was the scene of numerous nightly incursions by Israeli occupation forces, as well as attacks on worshippers and mosque seclusion during Ramadan.
The occupation forces raided al-Aqsa mosque on Tuesday, April 4th, and assaulted worshipers on Wednesday, April 5th, in shocking scenes that were captured on video and widely shared on social media, drawing international condemnation.
The tensions during Ramadan in 2021 and the violence in May over Israeli settler takeovers of Palestinian property in Sheikh Jarrah, encroachments on the mosque compound, and settler mob violence, which culminated in the Israeli assault on Gaza and large-scale protests throughout historic Palestine, were all echoes of the police brutality of the worshippers.
Ramadan is closely associated with the Al-Aqsa Mosque for many Palestinians in Jerusalem and throughout the occupied Palestinian territory.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is regarded as Islam's third holiest site because it contains both the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosque.
Al-Aqsa is in East Jerusalem, which is part of the Palestinian territories that are internationally recognized but have been occupied by the Israeli military since 1967.
