Israeli police stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck.

The Associated Press reported that after throwing the stones, Israeli police entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, firing rubber bullets and throwing shock bombs, while it was also reported to injure.

The resumption of violence at the mosque comes despite Israel temporarily barring Jews from visiting the mosque, a visit that has been seen by Palestinians as a provocation. Over the past week, Palestinians and Israeli police have repeatedly clashed in the country as tensions escalated following a series of deadly attacks inside Israel and Israeli arrests and raids in the occupied West Bank. Three rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel.

The resurgence of violence has raised fears that last year's events could be repeated, when protests and violence in Jerusalem escalated, leading to an 11-day war in Gaza and Israel.

Tens of thousands of Muslim believers are expected to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque for Friday prayers, as believers mark the holy month of Ramadan.

The Palestinian Crescent, which is a medical service, said at least 27 Palestinians were injured, two of them in critical condition. Meanwhile, Israel has not yet commented on these events, as there is a holiday in this country due to a Jewish holiday.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque, located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is the third holiest site in Islam. The large space on which this mosque was built is the holiest place for the Jews, who are referred to as the Temple Mount, because of the location of the two Jewish temples in antiquity. The country has become the epicenter of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and clashes in the country often fuel violence in other parts of the country.

The Palestinians and neighboring Jordan are guardians of the area. They accuse Israel of violating the agreements reached earlier, allowing a growing number of Jews to visit the country, under police escort.

An agreement banning Jews from praying in the country has been violated in recent years, raising fears among Palestinians that Israel plans to take over the country or divide it. Israel says it is committed to the status quo and blames the militant group Hamas for inciting violence. Hamas leads in Gaza.

Visits by groups of Jews to the area of ​​this mosque have been banned starting from April 22 and this ban will continue for at least the last ten days of Ramadan, as had happened in the past.

This year Ramadan coincided with Jewish Easter and several important Christian holidays, where tens of thousands of believers of three religions visited the Old Town.

The Old City is east of Jerusalem, which Israel occupied along with the West Bank and Gaza, in the Middle East war of 1967. Israel annexed East Jerusalem, a move that is not internationally recognized. Israel considers the entire city as its capital.

The Palestinians are seeking an independent state and see East Jerusalem as their capital.
