Palestinians pray in the streets as Israel imposes restrictions
http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=580108
It is Good Friday, and I read about how Muslims are not being allowed to freely worship at Al-Aqsa today!
And so they perform prayers in the street in Occupied East Jerusalem!
So, much for freedom of worship in Palestine under Occupation by The Jewish State!

JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Thousands of Palestinians performed prayers in the streets outside the Al-Aqsa compound on Friday after Israel imposed age restrictions on worshipers, a local foundation said.
Israeli troops and police officers were deployed in the streets and alleyways of the Old City and set up checkpoints near gates leading to the Al-Aqsa mosque, the Al-Aqsa Foundation for Waqf and Heritage said.
Ultra-orthodox Jewish worshipers entered the compound on Thursday and late into the night to perform religious rituals on the occasion of the Passover holiday, the group added.
An Israeli police spokeswoman told AFP that thousands officers had been deployed in the Old City to "prevent disorder."
