  • Story Text: Thousands of Muslims worshippers observed Eid al-Fitr prayers at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound, on Sunday (March 30) morning, as the holy month of Ramadan drew to a close.
    According to the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf, nearly 120,000 worshippers attended the prayer.
    The Al-Aqsa mosque lies at the heart of Jerusalem's Old City and is the third holiest shrine to Muslims.
    The compound is on a hill known to Jews as Har ha-Bayit, or Temple Mount, and to Muslims internationally as al-Haram al-Sharif, or The Noble Sanctuary.
