Associated Press reported.
Israeli police said 44 people were arrested and 20 officers were wounded. The police statement did not specify whether those arrested were Palestinian or Jewish and did not refer to any specific instances of violence.
Palestinians have clashed with Israeli police on a nightly basis since the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The tension began when police placed barricades outside the Old City s Damascus Gate, where Muslims traditionally gather to enjoy the evening after the daytime fast.
The city is bracing for possible further unrest as police step up security.
