Israeli occupation forces prevented dozens of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip from heading for Al Quds for prayers at Al Aqsa Mosque.

According to a Palestinian liaison official, the decision was taken due to the Jewish Passover, noting that access at Erez Crossing would only be allowed for emergency cases.

Some 200 Palestinians leave Gaza every week for Friday prayers at Al Aqsa Mosque and return on the same day.
