More than 150 Palestinians have been injured in clashes with Israeli police at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, Palestinian medics say.
Israeli police said officers entered the site after coming under attack with fireworks, stones and other objects.
Three Israeli police were hurt, they said.
The flashpoint site is deeply important to Muslims and Jews, who know it as the Temple Mount, and is at the heart of competing historical claims.
Riots on temple mount and inside #AlAqsa mosque. Palestinians throw stones and Israeli security forces fire back. Dozens injured.
Last year hamas fired 7 rockets at Jerusalem following similar riots, prompting an 11 day conflict. Operation guardian of the walls 2.0 gets closer. pic.twitter.com/Z609OAUt4V— Erez Neumark 🇮🇱🇧🇪 (@ErezNeumark) April 15, 2022
