RESTRICTION SUMMARY: Jerusalem - 17 April 2022. Palestinians clean the al-Aqsa mosque following clashes with Israeli security forces in Jerusalem's Old City.

STORYLINE:

Israeli police stormed the flashpoint al-Aqsa mosque compound in East Jerusalem on Sunday, with at least 10 people injured during the ensuing clashes.

Early on Sunday, Israeli police forces dispersed Palestinians from the large plaza outside the mosque, while dozens remained inside and chanted "God is great".

Shortly later, Palestinians reported clashes outside the mosque, in which at least ten people were injured by Israeli security forces, according to a statement issued by the Palestinian Red Crescent.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is a flashpoint site holy to both Muslims and Jews. It is located in East Jerusalem, a territory captured by Israel along with the rest of the West Bank in the 1967 Middle East war. Israel annexed it shortly later in a move not recognized by most of the international community.

On Friday, at least 152 Palestinians were injured in clashes with the Israeli police at the compound.

Escalating tensions between Israel and the Palestinians over the past three weeks.
