Hundreds wounded across Jerusalem in worst day of violence in years.

Hundreds of people were wounded at Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa Mosque compound on Monday as Israeli police stormed the third holiest site in Islam.

And 20 Palestinians, including nine children, were killed in Israeli air strikes in Gaza, after Hamas militants fired rockets into Jerusalem in response to the police action at Al Aqsa.

A rally by ultra-nationalist Jews in the city was temporarily halted by a siren, signaling the incoming rocket fire from Gaza.

There have been weeks of unrest in occupied East Jerusalem, with nightly clashes between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters.
