JERUSALEM: Palestinians clashed with Israeli police at Jerusalem’s flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque compound on Sunday.
The disturbances came with tensions running high after Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon last week outlawed two Muslim groups that confront Jewish visitors to the compound, which is holy to both faiths.
Palestinian witnesses said police entered the mosque, Islam’s third-holiest site. Israeli police said they closed the doors to the mosque to lock in rioters throwing stones, fireworks and other objects.
