About 20 masked Palestinians hurled stones at police forces at the Mughrabi Bridge at the end of Friday prayers on the Temple Mount.
Police forces managed to push the masked men into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, restored calm to the area and the dispersion of the worshippers from the complex continued as normal.
Eight of the stone throwers have been arrested.

Early June, the Jordanian government protested to the Israeli Foreign Ministry the fact Muslim worshippers were prevented from entering the Temple Mount complex. The Jordanian Foreign Ministry said Israel must take the necessary steps to stop the violation of worshippers' rights.
