Israeli security personnel used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse protesters, at the al-Asqa mosque compound in East Jerusalem, on Thursday.
The violence followed Muslim protesters marching through the old city of Jerusalem chanting, hanging a Palestinian flag from a building inside the compound, an act deemed illegal by Israeli law in the occupied territory.
As clashes took place inside the compound, Israeli forces closed the Remission Gate (Bab al-Hutta) entrance to the compound. Tensions have escalated in recent weeks after Israeli security measures were implemented at the site in the wake of a shootout inside the compound on July 14, which left two Israeli policemen and three Palestinians dead.
