Jerusalem and Palestinian activists are urging residents of occupied Palestinian cities to travel to Al-Aqsa Mosque for Friday prayers, Shehab Wire reported. The calls aim to affirm the mosque's Islamic identity and strengthen Muslim presence at the site through collective worship.
The ongoing campaign targets Palestinians across Jerusalem and occupied Palestinian territories, encouraging attendance at the Friday prayer service. Organizers say the effort reinforces Palestinian connection to the mosque and underscores its significance as an Islamic sanctuary. The calls reflect broader Palestinian efforts to maintain religious and cultural ties to the holy site.
