Tens of thousands of Palestinians performed the Eid al-Fitr prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem.
The Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem said in a succinct statement seen by Anadolu that more than 120,000 worshipers performed the Eid prayer at the mosque.
Palestinians began to flock to the mosque at dawn, when the mosque’s esplanades were packed as soon as the prayers began.
Worshipers entered the mosque, doing Eid takbirs. Palestinians handed out cakes to worshipers, who flocked to the mosque.
Israeli police forces deployed near the Old City and its alleyways in East Jerusalem. The streets of East Jerusalem saw traffic jams as worshipers flocked to the mosque.
With the end of the prayer, thousands of faithful went to the cemeteries near the old city to gather at the graves of their deceased.
