Israeli police clash with Palestinian protesters in Jerusalem

World

Israeli police have clashed with Palestinian protesters inside a Jerusalem holy site amid rising tensions.

Officers fired tear gas and stun grenades and protesters threw stones and other objects from the al Aqsa mosque compound.

Palestinians reported stun grenades were fired into the mosque compound, with dozens reportedly injured.

The site, known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, is considered the holiest site in Judaism and the third holiest in Islam.

It is the epicentre of a conflict and that has been centre stage for Israel-Palestinian violence in the past.
