The collision took place at the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. The situation escalated with the threat of eviction of Palestinian families from the eastern part of the city.

Palestinians tried to throw stones at police. In response, they used rubber bullets and tear gas. A Red Crescent Field Hospital (part of the Red Cross) was deployed at the scene to provide first aid to the wounded.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is one of the most revered shrines of Islam, located in the heart of old Jerusalem. It is also home to the Jewish holy site, the Temple Mount.

This place is often a hotbed of conflict and violence. Thousands of Muslims have come here to honor the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan.

The Israeli police said they used force to "restore order" among the thousands of believers who rioted after the evening prayer.

A mosque spokesman called through loudspeakers installed in the temple to stop the clashes.

“The police should stop throwing stun grenades, young people should calm down and stop making noise,” he said.

Of the 205 Palestinian casualties, 108 were hospitalized after being hit by metal-coated rubber bullets. Israeli police said 17 security personnel were injured.

Tensions have intensified over the threat of eviction of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah area in East Jerusalem, and riots have also erupted there. The Israeli Supreme Court will hear the case on May 10.

The UN has asked Israel to cancel any eviction programs and show restraint in the use of force against protesters. The international community also calls for an end to the conflict.

UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Thor Vennesland, called on all parties to "respect the status quo of sacred sites in the old city of Jerusalem in the interests of peace and stability."

Israel occupied East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War. The country wants to proclaim the indivisible Jerusalem as its capital. The Palestinians, in turn, hope that East Jerusalem will become the future capital of the independent state they have created.
