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.
The “Great Fajr” campaign was launched for the first time in 2020 and started from the fourth holiest place in the Islamic world, Hebron’s Ibrahimi Mosque, to stand against Israeli occupation’s violations against the mosque and its attempt to Judaize it, including the repeated raids by colonial Israeli settlers.
There have been calls by Palestinian officials for Muslim worshipers to perform prayers at the Al-Aqsa mosque at all times amid aggressive Israeli attacks committed against the mosque.
