East Jerusalem, April 6 (RHC)-- In occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli police fired tear gas to disperse worshipers after dawn prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound earlier today, the last Friday of Ramadan.
Israeli authorities have been restricting access to the holy site for Palestinians throughout Ramadan.
Today also marks “Al-Quds Day,” an annual event to express solidarity with Palestinians and opposition to Israeli occupation.
