At least 205 people were injured at Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa mosque after Israeli police in riot gear clashed with Palestinians following evening prayers, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Eighty-eight of the injured were taken to hospital for treatment, with most suffering from wounds caused by rubber-coated bullets, the Red Crescent said. About 20 were treated in field hospitals set up to cope with injuries from the most significant night of unrest in the city for years.
Video showed stun grenades going off across the mosque compound – known as the Noble Sanctuary to Muslims and the Temple Mount to Jews – with some landing inside the mosque building and scattering worshipers.

JERUSALEM:
In the aftermath of the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians by Zionist gangs to pave the way for the creation of the state of Israel, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced to flee their homes in historical Palestine to neighbouring countries.
Following these events, which came to be known to the Palestinians as Nakba , or the Catastrophe, 28 families settled in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem in 1956, hoping that would be the last time they are forced out of their homes.
