Israeli police entered Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque, one of Islam's holiest sites, as clashes erupted on Sunday over Jews' access to the compound on an annual day of Jewish mourning.
Palestinians threw stones and fireworks while police fired stun grenades after security forces entered the Al-Aqsa mosque compound before briefly going inside the mosque itself.
Police said they went a few metres (yards) into the mosque to shut the doors in a bid to restore calm and lock in rioters who were inside.
About 300 security personnel had entered the compound when the clashes began with a couple of hundred Palestinians, an AFP photographer reported.
The Palestinian foreign ministry condemned Israeli authorities for allowing what they described as "provocative" visits by hardline Jews.
