Occupied Jerusalem: At least one Palestinian was wounded on Saturday evening in clashes between protesters and Israeli security forces during a demonstration in occupied east Jerusalem, police said.
However, Palestinian sources put the number of casualties at three, saying one person was taken to hospital after being hit in the head.
Al Haram Al Sharif in the Old City, has been the focus of months of unrest that recently spread to the occupied West Bank and Palestinian communities in 1948 areas and raised fears of a new Palestinian uprising.
Palestinians have been infuriated by a far-right Jewish campaign for prayer rights at Al Haram Al Sharif that threatens an ultra-sensitive, decades-old status quo that allows only Muslims to pray there.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated in a Thursday meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry and Jordanian King Abdullah II that status quo, which allows Jews to visit but not pray, would not change.
On Friday, as part of a deal reached at the meeting in Amman, Israeli occupation forces lifted restrictions on Muslims praying at the mosque.
For the first time in months, men of all ages were allowed entry for the main weekly Muslim prayers at Al Aqsa mosque.
