Thousands of Palestinian worshippers gathered in the streets of the Old City today to perform Eid al-Fitr prayers after Israeli authorities enforced a total closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

Citing "security emergencies" related to the ongoing regional war, authorities barred entry to the holy site for the first time on an Eid holiday since 1967. In a show of spiritual defiance, residents lined the streets near Damascus Gate and Herod’s Gate, laying down prayer rugs as heavily armed security forces patrolled the area.
