Confrontation comes hours after arrest and removal of more than 350 Palestinians in another police raid at the compound
Israeli police have raided Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque for a second time, hours after the arrest and removal of more than 350 Palestinians in a police raid at the compound and despite a US appeal to ease tensions.
The earlier confrontations, during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and on the eve of the Jewish Passover holiday, triggered a cross-border exchange of fire in Gaza and stoked fears of further violence.
