80,000 Palestinians perform Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque

More than 80,000 Muslim worshippers gathered at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem to perform the second Friday prayer of Ramadan despite Israeli restrictions.

The majority of worshippers were from Jerusalem or Palestinians living in Israel, while a small number of worshippers from the occupied West Bank were able to enter Jerusalem.

Only certain age groups - including men over the age of 55, women over the age of 50, and children 12 and under - were allowed entry under the condition of having valid permits as Israel mulled restrictions on Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan.
