Amman, Jan. 2 (Petra)-- Despite the Israeli occupation authorities' stringent military restrictions on entrance to the mosque, thousands of worshipers performed Friday prayer at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, arriving early in the morning.

According to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), occupying forces were stationed along the Friday Market road and near the Lions' Gate. They stopped and searched young men, checked their identity cards, and prevented many from going to the mosque to worship.
