02:01A journalist filming clashes at the al-Aqsa mosque was seen being pushed to the ground, in Jerusalem on Friday.
At least 170 Palestinian worshippers were injured as clashes erupted after Israeli police stormed the al-Aqsa mosque.
Police fired rubber-coated bullets and stun grenades at worshipers, who set off fireworks and threw projectiles at the police.
According to reports 178 Palestinians and six police officers were injured.
Tensions rose when police were deployed to the mosque as worshippers attended prayers on the final Friday of Ramadan, and many stayed to protest against the evictions of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood.
The Israeli district court ruled that several Palestinian families were to be evicted from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood, on the basis that Jews had owned the land on which they had been built prior to 1948. The veracity of the documents used to demonstrate these claims is contested by lawyers representing Palestinian residents.
