According to Waqf organisation the presence is 50 per cent higher than last year, when around 120,000 people attended the first Friday prayers.

The site in Israel-occupied east Jerusalem is the third holiest in Islam and has proved a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The compound which includes Al-Aqsa is known to Jews as the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism.

AFP reported that a photographer at the Qalandia checkpoint between Jerusalem and the West Bank saw thousands of Palestinians — including elderly people in wheelchairs — lining up to enter the city early on Friday morning.
