Israeli police stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City and fired stun grenades at Palestinian worshipers in a move that sparked widespread international criticism and heightened tensions as Muslims celebrate Ramadan and Jews prepare to begin Easter.
Palestinian militants in Gaza responded by firing rockets into southern Israel, prompting repeated Israeli airstrikes.
Palestinian Red Crescent medics said at least 50 people were injured. Israeli police said 350 were arrested.
