Cairo - Mena
Israeli forces fired sound and tear gas bombs on Palestinians near Al Aqsa mosque compound after the Palestinians entered the mosque from Heta gate for the first time in two weeks.
Sky News said the Palestinians managed to fly the Palestinian flag over the mosque.
Israel closed the mosque two weeks ago after violence in which several Palestinian and Israeli soldiers were killed, and put restrictions over the Palestinians' entry into it but recently it removed the restrictions partially.
On Friday, President Mahoumd Abbas froze all contact between Palestinian Authority and Israeli officials and on Sunday cancelled security co-operation between Palestinian and Israeli forces in the West Bank.
