Weeks of sporadic violence between Israelis and Palestinians in Jerusalem intensified on Friday evening at a sacred religious site for Muslims and Jews, as the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan nears.

Palestinian medics said more than 20 Palestinians were hospitalized, most with injuries to the eyes and the face. There were reports of many more people with less serious injuries. The Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service said 136 people were wounded in clashes, the Associated Press reported; Israel said six police officers were injured.
