The Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem reported that 70,000 worshipers attended Tarawih prayers at the revered Al-Aqsa Mosque on the fifth night of Ramadan.

Despite obstacles imposed by the Israeli Occupation, thousands were still able to pray on the fourth day of Ramadan.

The region remains tense as Israeli Occupation aggression against Gaza continues for the 160th day, resulting in numerous casualties.

Hebrew sources suggest that the extremist Minister of National Security plans to provoke by visiting the occupation police headquarters near the Buraq Wall in Jerusalem.

The Israeli Occupation authorities have restricted entry to Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan, requiring permits and security checks, with specific age groups allowed access.

Additionally, barbed wire has been installed near the Lions Gate area to deter worshipers from entering the mosque.
