TL;DR Summary

Palestinians gathered at the Temple Mount and Al-Aqsa Mosque on Thursday night, with extra security forces headed to Jerusalem as the capital braced for the final Friday prayers of Ramadan. Tensions surrounding the holy site remain high after clashes last week, with Hamas urging Palestinians to flock to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and not to leave the site. Over 2,000 police and Border Police officers will deploy around Jerusalem on Friday, with reinforcements headed to the Old City, the outskirts of the capital and East Jerusalem. Israel has barred Jews and other non-Muslims from visiting the Temple Mount during the last 10 days of Ramadan.
