A protester received injuries to the face during violent clashes between Palestinian demonstrators and Israeli police on Saturday in East Jerusalem.
A large police force could be seen on Islam's holy night of Laylat al-Qadr, after thousands of Muslim worshippers gathered to pray outside the nearby al-Aqsa Mosque.
A police spokesperson said protesters threw rocks and fireworks towards the police. At least 205 Palestinians and 17 officers were injured, as reported by local media.
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.
On Monday, Israel’s supreme court will hold a hearing regarding the Sheikh Jarrah evictions.
