Muslim worshippers and Israeli police clashed Sunday at a major Jerusalem holy site during prayers marking the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha.
Palestinian medics said at least 14 people were wounded, one seriously, in the skirmishes with police at the site, which Muslims refer to as the Al-Aqsa mosque compound and Jews refer to as the Temple Mount. Witnesses said at least two people were arrested. Tens of thousands of Muslims had flocked to the site in Jerusalem's Old City early Sunday for holiday prayers, police said.
It is the holiest site for Jews and the third holiest for Muslims, after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. It has long been a flashpoint at the epicenter of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israeli police barred entry to the compound to Jewish visitors on Sunday before clashes erupted. Sunday is also the Ninth of Av, the Jewish day of mourning for the destruction of the two Biblical temples which stood at the site in antiquity.
You neglected to mention that Aug 11 is also a very important Jewish holiday. Jews should be allowed to pray at the Temple Mount, the holiest place in all of Judaism.
Such a bullshit title 'of clashes'. The Palestinians were attacked at the mosque they went to celebrate their religion at.
Clashes? The Occupation Forces are terrorizing worshipers, that is not the definition of a clash, it is one sided terrorism. FreePalestine
It's not a clash. It's an unjustified assault of Israel police on Palestinian during their Aid prayer. Attacking them with sound grenade, tear gas and brutality on children. Don't manipulate the truth with this misleading presentation. IsraelNazi FreePalestine ApartheidIsrael
ameeno93 Can’t even celebrate in piece
Inaccurate. Not clash but assault from “ Israelis”.
Why are the jews inside al aqsa?
Nice headlines. How about' Moslems riot in order to prevent Jews from mourning the destruction of our temple which Muslims built on top of. 'fakenews
Your racist language helps perpetuate the oppression of the Palestinians Israeli police attacked Muslim worshipers.
Long live 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Your reporting is so off-base. These people were rioting there to prevent Jews from even visiting on the holiday of Tisha b’Av. Why don’t you report that Jews are not even allowed to pray at their single holiest site?
Religion, feel the good!
JamieGlazov That is islam

I don’t care by now how it started, but under IsraeliPM Netanyahu Israel acts more like a Natzi SS police than a Religios people.
has any one noticed that every place [dems] visit, usually have some sort if civil disobedience and rioting days after? 🤔
What will UN do to bring peace between these two tribe so our planet can live in peace? This is becoming unbearable 🤱
Israel won't stop until it eradicates the land it's stolen of all Muslims. Doesn't that technique sound familiar?
I knew this wasn’t going to turn out good
It can only be by the people that called themselves religion of peace. Always causing Violence everywhere they’re found
Can’t believe you cover the Arab Israeli conflict this way...wow. Did you guys tweet about that Israeli teen who was murdered by Palestinian terrorists on Friday? Or the 2 hamas attempts to Enter Israel on Saturday and Sunday? You’re fake news.
I’m sure Twitter users around the world will discuss this matter with civil courtesy and respect for others.
Link is down. FakeNews

Are we not going to mention that it’s Tisha B’Av? A day of mourning centered around the Temple Mount? Bad form,
Israeli terror police to be precise. Those are terrorists in uniform.
