- Israeli police have raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for a second consecutive night, firing stun grenades and rubber-coated steel bullets at Palestinian worshippers.
- Videos from the site show armed troops forcibly emptying the mosque from worshippers who had gathered there for Ramadan prayers.
- The violence came hours after the arrest and removal of more than 400 people in a police raid at the compound and despite global appeals to ease tensions.
- The Palestinian Red Crescent said at least six people were wounded in the latest raid.
