More than 100,000 people attended the second Friday prayers of Ramadan on the Temple Mount, which ended peacefully and without any disturbances, police say.
The Islamic Waqf, which administers the mosque compound, estimated that around 120,000 people took part in the prayers, up from an estimated 80,000 last week.
Hebrew daily Haaretz reports that around 10,000 of the worshippers traveled from the West Bank to attend the prayers.
