Israel police clash with Palestinians at al-Aqsa mosque - BBC News

Israeli police have clashed with Palestinians at al-Aqsa mosque in occupied East Jerusalem.

Police said 350 people were arrested in a pre-dawn raid after what they called "agitators" with fireworks, sticks and stones shut themselves inside.

Palestinians said stun grenades and rubber bullets were used to clear out the group and that 14 people were hurt.

Militants in the Gaza Strip later fired nine rockets at Israel and its military carried out air strikes in response.

The latest violence comes just ahead of an overlap between the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and the Jewish Passover holiday.
