In the past week, hundreds of Palestinians and many Israeli police have been injured in violent clashes at the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Up to 90,000 Muslims are said to have gathered at the mosque in the Old City in recent days due to Ramadan. The Al-Aqsa Mosque is a constant center of violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The ongoing unrest at the al-Aqsa Mosque is also due to increased Palestinian outrage over plans to evict Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem, in favor of Israeli settlers.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque has long been a center of frequent conflict between Israel and Palestine, due to its importance in both Islam and Judaism.
