The Jerusalem Islamic Council has expressed serious concern over Israel's plans to change the status quo of Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of the holiest sites for Muslims. According to the council's statement, the Israeli government intends to give Jewish settlers more rights and access to the holy site.

Despite all the obstacles imposed by Israel, about 120,000 Palestinians performed the second Friday prayer in the holy month of Ramadan at Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Despite Israeli restrictions, 35,000 Palestinians lined up for night and tarawih prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque. It is said that the Israeli forces beat and arrested a young man who tried to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
