Al-Aqsa Mosque clashes with Israeli police, more than 150 Palestinians injured
More than 150 Palestinians have been injured in clashes with Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

According to the foreign news agency, more than 150 Palestinians and some Israeli police officers were also injured in the fierce clashes between hundreds of Palestinians and Israeli police in the premises of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

The clashes erupted when Muslims gathered at the Al-Aqsa compound yesterday to offer prayers on the last Friday of Ramadan at a highly sensitive location.

Israeli police fired rubber bullets to disperse the worshipers, injuring several worshipers.

The United States, meanwhile, has called for a reduction in tensions, saying forced evictions could worsen the situation in East Jerusalem.

It should be noted that the United Nations has already declared forced eviction to be tantamount to war crimes.
