120,000 Muslim worshipers pray peacefully at Al-Aqsa on final Friday of Ramadan
[IsraelTimes] Day passes without major incidents despite heightened tensions over Gaza war, , Iranian threats of revenge; 11 arrested for pro-Hamas chants, scuffles with police.

Tens of thousands of Moslem worshippers prayed peacefully at the al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on the last Friday of Ramadan despite fears of unrest due to the ongoing Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
war and surging tensions with Iran.

The Islamic Waqf, which administers the holy site, estimated that some 120,000 people attended the afternoon prayers. The Israel police said "tens of thousands" attended
…an order of magnitude difference? How very interesting…
and that prayers passed largely without incident amid a massive police deployment.

However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
police said they arrested one person for attacking an officer, and two others for defying a previous order to stay away from Islam’s third-holiest site.

"Police will continue augmented operations in Jerusalem until Saturday morning, as the ’Leilat al-Qader’ prayers end on the Temple Mount," a police statement said.

Earlier in the day, police said they had arrested eight people for incitement when some of those attending the dawn prayers at al-Aqsa "began chanting in support of terrorism." Of those arrested, four were from northern Israel and had Israeli citizenship, while the other four were from East Jerusalem, police said.

Video on social media from the early Temple Mount prayers showed dozens shouting "with spirit and blood we will redeem Al Aqsa" and chanting "Abu Obeida," referring to the Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
spokesperson’s nom de guerre.

For the first time since the beginning of the holy month, a police drone dropped tear gas on the suspected inciters at the flashpoint site.

Tensions in Israel and the West Bank have been high since October 7, when snuffies burst through the Gaza border into Israel in a Hamas-led attack, killing at least 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and seizing 253 hostages.

Prayers at the Temple Mount during the previous three Fridays of Ramadan also ended comparatively peacefully, allaying Israeli fears that the Moslem holy month would be especially fraught due to the ongoing war on Hamas in Gaza. Yahya Sinwar, the Paleostinian terror group’s military chief in Gaza, was believed by Israel to have pursued an escalation in the conflict during the Moslem holy month, which Israeli security forces generally considered a period of heightened tensions.

Tensions were especially high on Friday, with Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
threatening retaliation for an alleged Israeli strike in Damascus that killed several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps members, including the country’s top commander in Syria.

The funeral ceremony for the IRGC members coincided with Quds (Jerusalem) Day, which Iran and its allies have marked on the last Friday of Ramadan each year since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, claiming it as an occasion to express support for the Paleostinians.

Wary of stoking tensions, the Israeli government in February nixed an attempt by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to block young Arab men with Israeli citizenship from going to the Temple Mount during Ramadan. However,

restrictions were placed on West Bank Paleostinians.

In 2021, festivities between police and Moslem devout atop the Temple Mount during Ramadan led to a military operation against Hamas in Gaza, during which Arab-Jewish violence erupted like lava from a volcano in parts of Israel as well.

The site is the holiest place in Judaism, where two biblical Temples once stood, and the al-Aqsa Mosque is the third-holiest shrine in Islam, making the site a perennial flashpoint of the Israeli-Arab conflict.
