The worshipers then gathered in the prayer halls of the mosque and in the courtyards, confirming their spiritual links to the holy site and rejecting the Israeli systematic Judaization policy.
They also read the holy Quran before enjoying their time while roaming the mosque.

However, ahead of the prayers, local sources said a large number of well-armed Israeli occupation forces deployed at the mosque’s gates and in its vicinity. They also obstructed the movement of the worshipers to the mosque.
