Despite the Israeli blockade, 1.5 million people offered Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque

The Palestinian Ministry of Endowments from Occupied Jerusalem said in a statement that worshipers from Occupied Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Palestinian Territories, and Israeli cities attended.

Thousands of people could not come because of the fear of Israeli blockades and arrests.

The Palestinian Ministry of Endowments said that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were denied prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque due to the Israeli siege and sanctions.

Meanwhile, Arab media say that the Israeli army shelled Ansugas in the outer courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israeli forces, with the help of drones, rained Ansugis shells on the courtyard.

There were also stampedes and suffocations in the courtyard due to shelling by Israeli forces.
