Riots are reportedly taking place at the border fence between Gaza and Israel.

Video filmed by Kobi Richter of Israeli news agency TPS shows explosives being used by the Gazan rioters on the border late on Saturday night (May 8).

“Protesters light rubber tires and throw improvised explosive devices as they come to the aid of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque,” the Times of Israel reported Hamas media outlet al-Resalah as saying.

Tensions are high in East Jerusalem as Palestinian worshippers head to Al-Aqsa mosque for the holy night of Laylat al-Qadr. On Friday, Israeli forces stormed the mosque and injured more than 200 Palestinians.

A recent order to evict Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem has triggered days of violent protests.
