STORYLINE:

The attacks at Damascus Gate come amid heightened tensions and warnings of plans by Israeli settlers to storm al-Aqsa Mosque during the holy month of Ramadan, part of which will coincide with Jewish holidays.

Last year saw nightly clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police and settlers during the fasting month. Threats of Palestinian displacement in East Jerusalem, police raids at Al-Aqsa mosque compound and a ban on evening gatherings at Damascus Gate led in part to an 11-day war between Israel and Gaza militants that killed more than 250 Palestinians in Gaza and 13 people in Israel.
