More than 50,000 worshipers perform Friday prayer at Aqsa

The Islamic Endowments Department said that 50,000 worshipers performed the Friday prayer at the holy site.

Meanwhile, the Zionist regime’s police forces set up dozens of roadblocks, conducted extensive searches and checks on Palestinians and their ID cards, and prevented many of them from reaching the holy Islamic site.

During the Friday sermon, the preacher of Aqsa Mosque Sheikh Muhammad Sarandah stressed that the land of Palestine and Al-Quds is the land of knowledge and scholars and is not a land of bloodshed.

He also criticized the Al-Quds’ schools, which switched over to an Israeli-controlled curriculum.

Earlier in the morning, thousands performed dawn prayer at the holy site despite Israeli restrictions.
