Thousands of Palestinians performed Friday prayer in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, amid Israeli military restrictions at its entrances and gates.

The Department of Islamic Endowments reported that 45,000 worshipers performed prayers today at Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces stormed the Dome of the Rock, and removed the Palestinian flag.

In turn, the preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, hailed the prisoners and their struggles.

Sabri warned against the land settlement project in Jerusalem, pointing out that it is a dangerous project targeting the Palestinian presence in Jerusalem by seizing lands and homes.

He also mentioned the Sabra and Shatila massacre that took place in 1982 in Lebanon, which claimed the lives of more than 3,000 Palestinians, and described it as a stain on the forehead of the occupier.
