Israeli security forces used stun grenades and tear gas against worshippers outside the al-Asqa mosque in East Jerusalem, Friday, continuing several days of clashes. Hundreds of worshippers were prevented from entering the mosque by the Israeli police forces who used barricades to stop them. Israeli security forces arrested a man and threw stun grenades and tear gas at the worshippers. The last week has witnessed almost constant violence in and around the holy site, with Israeli police and Special Forces clashing with Palestinians. On Wednesday there were reports of fire inside the Mosque's compound. The first round of clashes erupted on Sunday ahead of the Jewish New Year, which began on Sunday night and ended on Tuesday evening. The Al-Aqsa mosque is considered to be the third holiest place of worship for many Muslims. Hamas and its supporters held a march in Khan Yunis in the south of Gaza in solidarity with the Palestinians in Jerusalem, Sunday.
