At least 175 Palestinians and six Israeli police officers were injured in violent clashes in East Jerusalem on Friday (May 7th).
Clashes erupted in the al-Aqsa mosque, where thousands of worshipers had gathered for the last big Friday prayer, before the end of Ramadan.
According to the Israeli police, "hundreds of rioters threw stones, bottles and other objects at the officers who retaliated."
Riot police used stun grenades and shot protesters with rubber bullets.
Violence also broke out in Sheik Jarrah, a neighborhood near the mosque, where daily demonstrations are organized to protest against the possible eviction of Palestinian families in favor of Israeli settlers.
These clashes, among the most violent in recent years, take place against a backdrop of renewed tensions in recent days, in this Palestinian part of Jerusalem occupied by Israel since 1967.
