Hawzah News Agency - (Occupied Palestine) - Thousands of Palestinians attended dawn (fajr) prayers in a number of mosques in, al - Quds the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian territories occupied since 1948 and the Gaza Strip on Friday.

The move came as part of the Great Fajr (dawn) Campaign which was launched months ago to protest the ongoing Judaization of al – Quds and al-Aqsa Mosque and Israeli settlers' attacks on mosques in the Palestinian territories.

In Al Quds, hundreds of Palestinians managed to pray at al-Aqsa Mosque despite tight Israeli restrictions, and in the West Bank, thousands attended the prayers in over 200 mosques.

This week the campaign expanded to include mosques in the 1948 occupied territories and the Gaza Strip.

The preachers who led the prayers encouraged the worshipers not to give up their rights and do their best to protect their mosques, especially al-Aqsa Mosque in al – Quds and the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil against settler attacks.

Young volunteers distributed water, hot drinks and sweets to the worshipers following the prayers.
