Israelis clashed with Palestinian worshippers on Temple Mount in East Jerusalem on Sunday morning following reported provocation in the lead up to an emotional week in the Holy Land.
The clashes allegedly started when around 1,000 Israelis moved towards Temple Mount with Star of David flags and chanting Jewish songs, according to local reports. Others began praying in the area, in contravention of a ban on non-Muslims praying in the al-Aqsa Mosque's grounds.
Sunday is known as 'Jerusalem Day,' the anniversary of when Israel took control of the Old City and East Jerusalem in 1967.
