Today is the 23rd day of the Muslim holy month and last Friday.
Ahead of the prayers, large numbers of well-armed Israeli occupation soldiers deployed in the streets of the occupied city and at the mosque’s gates and in its vicinity.
The forces obstructed the movement of the worshipers to the mosque, prevented others from reaching the site to attend the prayers, and searched dozens, local sources reported.
The mosque has been under aggressive Israeli assaults for three consecutive nights as Israeli occupation forces raided the holy site after the Taraweeh prayers, forcibly expelled Palestinian worshipers from the mosque and brutally attacked and arrested dozens of them while they were observing the month of Ramadan and gathered for night prayers and I’tikaf.
