Jerusalem: Tens of thousands of worshippers performed Eid Al-Adha prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque this morning. The chants of "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great) resonated throughout the area, marking the beginning of Eid amidst a substantial gathering of worshippers, despite restrictions imposed by the occupation and its settlers.

According to Qatar News Agency, Israeli settlers engaged in provocative actions against worshippers as they exited Al-Aqsa Mosque, singing and chanting. They positioned themselves strategically on Al-Mujahideen Street, between Bab Al-Hitta and Bab Al-Asbat, adding tension to the sacred proceedings.

The mosque's courtyards were thronged with worshippers coming from Jerusalem and across the Palestinian territories. This created a distinct spiritual atmosphere, despite the restrictions and measures enforced by Israeli authorities at the entrances to the Old City and the gates of the mosque.

Coinciding with Eid Al-Adha, the Israeli occupation authorities continue to enforce tight security measures in Jerusalem and around Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has barred thousands from entering.
