75,000 Worshippers Gather at Al-Aqsa for Ramadan's Final Friday Prayers Amid Israeli Restrictions

Around 75,000 Muslim worshippers gathered at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem for the final Friday prayers of Ramadan. Despite facing strict Israeli restrictions and reported harassment, Palestinians participated in the prayers at the sacred site. The number of worshippers this year was notably lower due to increased security measures. Al-Aqsa Mosque, a significant religious site for Muslims, remains a focal point of tensions, with ongoing restrictions on Palestinian access further intensifying regional grievances. #AlAqsa #Jerusalem #Ramadan #Palestine #Israel #Prayers #OccupiedJerusalem #FinalFriday #MuslimUnity #ReligiousFreedom #IsraeliRestrictions #MiddleEast #AlAqsaMosque #PrayerGathering #Peace #FreedomOfReligion #PalestinianRights #HolySite #Conflict #BreakingNews ~HT.336~GR.124~
