On Monday morning, violence erupted between the two warring sides at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, which is considered one of the holiest sites in Islam.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society said over 300 Palestinians were injured in the altercation with Israeli forces, who fired rubber bullets, stun grenades and tear gas at the mosque's compound.

What is Khabib Nurmagomedov currently doing?
Even though Khabib Nurmagomedov announced his retirement last October, UFC president Dana White only recently made the news official. It seems like 'The Eagle' will follow in his late father's footsteps now and aim to become an esteemed coach in the sport.
He has already cornered his teammates and cousins during their fights. Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold told TMZ Sports in a March interview that Khabib had expressed a wish to coach the former as well.
For now, he is enjoying his free time with his brothers visiting Mecca, the holiest pilgrimage site in Islam.
