Some 250 Palestinians from the besieged Gaza Strip traveled to occupied East Jerusalem on Friday to attend prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, according to Palestinian liaison officials.
The officials told Ma’an that the worshipers, all above the age of 50, traveled to Jerusalem via the Erez crossing between the besieged enclave and Israel to attend prayers, and would immediately be returning to the Gaza Strip following the conclusion of Friday prayers.
This Friday’s trip to Jerusalem came a week after Israeli authorities cancelled the permits of 150 elderly Palestinians in Gaza to attend Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa.
