A stadium full of people that visit Al Aqsa every Friday - with claims that Israel makes it so hard for them

Every Friday, one sees two contradictory narratives in Palestinian media.One says how Israel limits the number of people visiting Al Aqsa Mosque. The other says how many people went there to pray.Today some 55,000 Muslims visited the site to worship there (and probably play some soccer.) That's a sold out football stadium of people.
