AL-AQSA VIOLENCE: WHY PALESTINIANS & JEWS HAVE OFTEN CLASHED AT THIS HOLY SITE IN JERUSALEM

On Monday, Israeli police stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in East Jerusalem, leaving a reported 300 people injured. It came on a day Israel observes as Jerusalem Day and marked the fourth day of clashes at one of the most revered and the most contested sites of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The violence is believed to have been fuelled by a dispute over the land ownership case.
