"Security Measures in Place as First Friday Ramadan Prayers Pass Quietly at Al-Aqsa Mosque"
TL;DR
Tens of thousands of Palestinian worshipers attended the first Friday prayers of Ramadan at the Temple Mount/Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, marking the calmest Friday in the city since the recent conflict in Gaza began. The peaceful prayers were seen as a victory for those who believe that Jerusalem is more than just a conflict zone, with the event passing by quietly without providing any excuses for controversy-prone Israeli lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir.
