Over 60,000 Palestinians performed morning Eid prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem despite Israeli restrictions, according to Wafa news agency.

The Islamic Waqf - the council in charge of affairs at the mosque - said a number of Palestinians were forcibly removed from Al-Aqsa by Israeli authorities, and prayed in the streets nearby.
