104,000 Muslims permitted in Jerusalem Friday

COGAT reports that 104,000 Palestinian Arabs crossed over into Israel on the last Friday in Ramadan.

I'm fairly certain that between 1949 and 1967, there were never that many Muslims visiting Jerusalem in total at any time of the year. I'm trying to find any news articles about a mass pilgrimage to Jerusalem during those times, when it was under Arab control, and the most I see are 5000-10,000 Arabs visiting during - Easter.
