(20 Jul 2021) Muslims held Eid prayers at the Jerusalem Al-Aqsa mosque compound on Tuesday, a major holy site sacred to both Muslims and Jews.
Heavy clashes at the site earlier this year helped spark an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
Jews revere the site as the Temple Mount, where the biblical Temples once stood.
It is the holiest site in Judaism.
Today, it is home to the Al Aqsa Mosque, the third-holiest site in Islam.
Tensions at the compound have frequently spilled over into violence over the years.
