Headline: “Tens of thousands held Friday prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque plazas”

“Approximately 65,000 [Muslim] worshippers held Friday prayers at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque plazas yesterday [Dec. 9, 2022], amid strengthened measures by the occupation authorities…

From the Saladin Al-Ayyubi pulpit in the Southern Mosque (i.e., the Al-Aqsa Mosque itself), blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque preacher Sheikh Yusuf Abu Sneineh spoke about the serious and difficult events that are taking place at the Al-Aqsa Mosque plazas, including ongoing violations and ongoing desecration by the occupation authorities.

In his sermon, Sheikh Abu Sneineh called to insist on Ribat (i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic) and to come to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque plazas.”
