Tens of Thousands Perform Eid Prayers at Al-Aqsa Despite Israeli Restrictions
Despite severe Israeli occupation restrictions, 120,000 Palestinians performed Eid Al-Fitr prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday, March 30. Throughout the holy month of Ramadan, Israeli occupation forces imposed harsh measures that significantly reduced the number of worshippers allowed into the mosque.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians from across the occupied territories defied these restrictions, making their way to the occupied city of Jerusalem in an attempt to assert their right to worship at Islam’s third holiest site.
Israeli occupation authorities tightened their grip on the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem, and Palestinian communities inside 1948 territories, obstructing access to Al-Aqsa Mosque to limit the number of worshippers and reinforce their control over the site.
Eid Prayers Amid the Ruins in Gaza
In Gaza, Palestinians performed Eid prayers amid the devastation, gathering at Al-Omari Grand Mosque in Gaza City, despite the mosque suffering partial destruction from Israeli airstrikes. Others prayed in UN-run shelter schools, while some stood among the ruins of their homes, marking the holiday in the shadow of war.
