Israeli soldiers prevented thousands of Palestinians from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque for the Eid prayer, causing a wave of anger among Muslims.
The Islamic Waqf, in charge of Al-Aqsa Mosque under Jordanian administration, reported that despite the Israeli restrictions and preventing thousands of people from entering, more than 40,000 Palestinians managed to perform the Eid prayer.
Palestinian youths who were assaulted by Israeli forces and expelled from Al-Aqsa formed rows outside and performed the prayer.
Meanwhile, in Gaza, Palestinians performed the Eid prayer on the rubble of their destroyed homes. The spirit of the resilient people of Gaza was remarkable on this occasion.
