Al Jazeera’s Sara Khairat, from occupied East Jerusalem, reports that “sound bombs” could be heard near the Al-Aqsa Mosque a few minutes ago, just before the start of the Friday prayer.

“There have been a lot of clashes and, for the first time, not just in one area but outside several gates that take you to the old city,” she added.

A video on social media shows Israeli soldiers on horses chasing worshipers away from the Lions Gate, one of the seven gates of the Old City of Jerusalem, the news outlet reports.
