Violence erupts at Al-Aqsa mosque between Israeli forces and Palestinian worshippers.

TL;DR Summary
Israeli police raided the compound of the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem's old city, injuring at least a dozen people. The incident further heightens tensions during a time of growing political upheaval and violence in both Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. The contested site has been managed by the Waqf, a Jordanian religious authority, since Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967. Non-Muslims are not allowed to pray there, and Israeli police require such visitors to deposit all religious items before entry.
