West Bank violence: "We don't feel safe in our houses"
The mood in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian territories is tense.
The recent scenes of violence at Jerusalem's most important holy site for Muslims and Jews are igniting widespread anger.
In one social media video, heavily armed Israeli police apparently use a rifle butt and sticks to beat Palestinian worshippers who had barricaded themselves inside the al-Aqsa mosque.
Israeli police have released their own footage, which seems to show fireworks thrown by Palestinians, lighting up the prayer hall.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, three Israelis were killed in two separate attacks in Tel Aviv and near a settlement in the occupied West Bank.
Issa Amro is a Palestinian activist who lives in Hebron. He told Newsday: 鈥淓ach Jewish holiday is a very bad day for us.鈥�
