Israel-Palestine Conflict- CLASHES After Friday Prayers at Jersusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque
'Israel-Palestine Conflict: CLASHES After Friday Prayers at Jersusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque'
The atmosphere is usually heightened after Friday prayers at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque - known to Jews as the Temple Mount.
The contested holy site is the flashpoint for violence between Palestinians and Israeli forces that led to an 11-day all out war in Gaza.
This demonstration held a special significance for many after Tuesday's provocative Jewish ultranationalist flag march through Jerusalem.
Though tensions remain high, this protest was markedly less violent than those that led to all-out war in May.
In a possible signal intent from the new coalition government under Naftali Bennett, soldiers refrained from enterring the Al-Aqsa mosque compound.
