Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Thousands of Palestinian worshipers performed at Friday dawn the Al-Fajr prayer at the Al-Aqsa mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem, pledging to protect the holy site from Israeli occupation violations.
Local sources reported that large numbers of Palestinian worshipers attended the Al-Fajr prayer at the mosque with the intention of supporting the “Great Fajr” campaign to pray at the holy sites.
There have also been calls by Palestinian leaders to Muslim worshipers to pray and stay at the mosque at all times amid aggressive Israeli violations committed against the mosque ahead of the so-called Jewish holidays starting early next week.
The worshipers then gathered at the courtyards of the mosque, confirming their spiritual links to the holy site and rejecting the Israeli systematic Judaization policy.

Local sources reported that a group of colonial Israeli settlers performed Talmudic rituals, including blowing the Shofar, an ancient musical horn, at Bab Al-Ghawanmeh, one of the mosque’s gates, this morning.

Every Friday, thousands of Palestinians stream to the Al-Aqsa mosque, the world’s third-holiest site for Muslims. They recite the Holy Quran before performing the Al-Fajr prayer and later the Friday prayers.
