Ninety thousand worshippers attend night prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque

The attendance for night prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque was 90,000 on Friday, the sixth night of the month of Ramadan.

The large attendance comes after Israeli restrictions prevented thousands of Palestinians from the occupied West Bank to attend Friday prayers at the mosque.

Typically the first Friday of Ramadan sees large numbers of worshippers in attendance at Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said that Israeli forces also prevented ambulances and medical teams from entering the site.
