Author: AFP

Jerusalem: Israeli police clashed with Palestinian protesters on Friday in the latest violence at Al-Aqsa mosque compound, as the United Nations voiced deep concern at spiraling unrest.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said that 57 people were wounded, including 14 Palestinians taken to hospital, one of them in a serious condition, after police stormed the compound in east Jerusalem’s Old City.

The clashes come after a month of deadly violence, as the Jewish festival of Passover overlaps with the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.
