As 100,000 Muslims Attend Eid Morning Prayer, Israeli Forces Raid Al-Aqsa Mosque

As over 100,000 Muslim worshippers attended the morning Eid prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque, Israeli occupation forces stormed the Muslim holy compound, pressured worshippers out of the Bab al-Rahma prayer space, and arrested some, the official Palestinian information company WAFA reported.

Israeli occupation forces reportedly detained no less than 18 folks from inside Al-Aqsa Mosque or as they had been leaving it.

Bab al-Rahma, also called the Golden Gate, is without doubt one of the gates resulting in Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Israeli authorities intend to show it right into a prayer space for the Jewish settlers and have been preserving Muslims out of the location.

Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim officers have warned that any change within the decades-long established order on the holy compound, as a Muslim-only prayer space in its complete 144-dunum walled space, might result in the outbreak of violence and spiritual strife.

The Eid prayer – which is held on the primary day of the Muslim Eid al-Adha vacation – often attracts tens of hundreds of Muslim worshippers from throughout Palestine and the world.
