At least 20 people were reportedly injured in the clashes when the Israeli forces fired plastic bullets and tear gas and threw grenades at the Palestinian worshippers in the al-Aqsa Mosque compound to disperse them.
Israeli forces set up barriers in front of all of the compound’s gates to prevent Palestinian worshippers from entering the mosque.
The mosque, widely revered by Muslims, has been the scene of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli settlers and troops in recent weeks.
