More than 150 Palestinian worshipers and a few Israeli police officers were injured during a six-hour clash on Friday at the Temple Mount compound in the Old City of Jerusalem — a site that’s often a scene of religious-inspired violence.

Authorities said that dozens of Palestinians carrying flags of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority made their way toward the Al-Aqsa mosque in the Temple Mount area and, with rocks and other items, began attacking Israeli security forces.

Officials said they also set off fireworks after prayers ended early Friday and some barricaded themselves inside. Hundreds of Palestinians had gathered at the site for Friday prayers during the month of Ramadan.
