Israel allows 800 Gazans to pray in Aqsa mosque

Israeli authorities have decided to allow 800 Palestinians from Gaza Strip to head for Al Aqsa mosque in Al Quds (East Jerusalem) to perform prayers and commemorate Laylatul Qadr or the Night of Power in which the Holy Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammed.

Palestinian sources said the occupation troops decided to facilitate the visits by Palestinians between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

The occupation troops decided in the first week of Ramadan to cancel permits granted to the Gazans to visit Al Aqsa mosque under pretext of firing missiles from the Palestinian enclave.
