(1 Jul 2016) Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have flocked to Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem to worship on the last Friday of Ramadan.
Police tightened security in and around the old city, as people began to make their way to the compound to pray.
On Friday evening, thousands of Muslim worshippers are expected to pray at Al-Aqsa mosque to mark Laylat al-Qadr, or Night of Power.
Laylat al-Qadr is celebrated on the 27th night of Ramadan, which according to Islamic tradition is celebrated as the anniversary of the day on which some of the most significant verses in the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers clashed with Palestinians on Friday at the Qalandia checkpoint, which connects the West Bank to Jerusalem.
