(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Ma'an's reporter said local youth clashed with the Israelis, who they described as settlers, at Bab Al-Majlis gate during the Tarawih, an evening prayer performed in the holy month of Ramadan.
No injuries were reported.
The Al-Aqsa compound, containing the mosque and the Dome of the Rock, is the third holiest site in Islam after Saudi Arabia's Mecca and Medina, and abuts the site where Jews believe the ancient Second Temple stood.
A massive Israeli police presence deployed to the area ahead of the first Friday prayers during Ramadan. Israeli authorities blocked access to the site for Muslim men under the age of 45 and West Bank Palestinians under the age of 35.
