Israeli police say that security forces clashed with Palestinian protesters at the al-Aqsa mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem on Wednesday, with demonstrators throwing fireworks and stones at police.
Omar Alkeswani, a Palestinian manager of al-Aqsa, told Al Jazeera that around 20 people were injured inside the compound. The crowd was eventually dispersed after officers used stun grenades, police said.
