On Friday morning, about 120,000 worshipers performed the Eid al-Fitr prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque, east of Jerusalem, without incidents of tension, according to the Islamic Endowments Department in the city.
The department stated that the worshipers gathered in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and its chapels, after they flocked to pray, despite the restrictions of the Israeli police.
The Israeli authorities restricted Palestinian access to Al-Aqsa Mosque during the month of Ramadan, as it prevented male residents of the West Bank between 12 and 55 years of age, as well as granting limited permits to residents of the Gaza Strip.
