Times of Israel reported:

Rioting broke out in the Wadi Joz area north of Jerusalem’s Old City between Muslim worshipers attempting to reach the Temple Mount for Friday prayers and Israeli police.

At least one police officer and eight Palestinians were lightly hurt, according to reports. There were no immediate reports of serious injuries.

The worshipers are protesting new security procedures at the holy site imposed by the Israel Police after last Friday’s deadly terror attack there that left two police officers dead. Muslim leaders have instructed those wishing to pray not to agree to pass through the metal detector gates posted at the Temple Mount. Only a few Palestinians agreed to security checks and entered the site on Friday, with thousands more praying or protesting at various sites around the city.

At Wadi Joz, rioters threw rocks and water bottles at police, and some set off fireworks. Police responded with tear gas, pushing back the crowd.

Many cars parked along the road were damaged. Rioters set a dumpster on fire, but the fire was soon put out by residents.

Local residents were also seen intervening in the clash and demanding that the protesters stop throwing rocks.
