Muslim pilgrims gathered on the grounds of the Al-Aqsa Mosque today for midday prayers on the fourth Friday of the holy month of Ramadan under heavy Israeli police presence.
The prayers ended peacefully despite year-long tensions between Israelis and Palestinians.
The Israeli police raids on the holy compound that preceded this triggered rocket fire from Gaza, southern Lebanon and Syria, prompting Israel to respond with aerial bombardments and artillery fire.
