The clashes erupted on Sunday with Israeli forces firing tear gas to disperse Palestinians. Three people were injured in the incident.

The clashes come as Israelis are celebrating Rosh Hashanah, or the Jewish New Year. The Israeli regime usually imposes restrictions on Muslim worshipers' access to the al-Aqsa Mosque on the first days of Rosh Hashanah.

The mosque, widely revered by Muslims, has been the scene of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli settlers and troops in recent weeks.

Earlier in September, Israeli forces attacked a group of Palestinian women who sought to enter the mosque.
