The Red Crescent organisation on Monday reported that 215 people were injured, four of them serious, with over 150 sent to hospital after the fight at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The fight, between Israeli security forces and protesters that left hundreds injured, was prompted by a dispute about access to parts of the Old City and attempts to evict a Palestinian family from their home.
Police said nine officers had been injured. The number of those injured could rise and there were reports that some people who had been hurt were still at the site.
