Palestinians took part in a protest amid tensions in Jerusalem and Gaza City. Israeli police raided Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City and clashed with dozens of Palestinian worshippers on the night of April 4 after the latter barricaded themselves in the mosque ahead of the eve of Passover.

Tension has already been high in east Jerusalem and the West Bank for months, and fears of further violence was fueled with the convergence of the Muslim holy month of fasting and Passover.
