Amman, July 11 (Petra)-- Despite the Israeli occupation authorities' stringent military restrictions on entry to the mosque, tens of thousands of worshipers performed Friday prayer at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

About 50,000 worshipers performed Friday prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque, according to the Islamic Awqaf Department in Jerusalem.

According to the Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, occupation soldiers blocked worshipers' entry to the Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Damascus and Lions Gates, checked their identification, and detained a number of young men to keep them from accessing the mosque.

The agency also said that when a group of settlers stormed the area, occupying forces blocked traffic on the route leading to Lions Gate.
