Israeli forces prevented Palestinians from performing Friday prayers on Salah al-Din Street in occupied Jerusalem, according to a report by Wafa News Agency. Local sources said the forces entered the area and gave several dozen worshippers and an imam only three minutes to leave their prayer spots before forcibly dispersing them.

The incident occurred amid the continued closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has remained shut for the past 28 days. The closure has affected worshippers who typically gather there for prayers, leading some to attempt to pray in nearby streets such as Salah al-Din.

The report did not specify whether any arrests or injuries occurred during the dispersal, and no official comment from Israeli authorities was mentioned.
