Sputnik is live from outside Jerusalem's al-Aqsa Mosque following clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces in East Jerusalem.
On Friday morning, Israeli police units raided Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, where thousands of Palestinians were performing a dawn prayer. Law enforcement opened fire with rubber bullets, launched noise bombs, and used tear gas.
The incident occurred on the second Friday of Ramadan. Last Friday, the Al-Aqsa Mosque was attended by nearly 80,000 people.
