More than 30 Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli security forces at the #AlAqsa mosque compound in #Jerusalem on Friday. Israeli police stormed the mosque after protestors threw stones close to the Western Wall where Jewish worship was taking place. #CGTNAmerica ImageImageImage
The mosque, known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount, is a sacred site for both religions.
