An Israeli army jeep shots volleys of tear gas canisters into the streets of the West Bank city of Bethlehem, during a demonstration. Palestinians in the West Bank city of Bethlehem took part in a demonstration in defense of Al Aqsa Mosque in Eastern Jerusalem, after several weeks of clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians. Protests similar to the one in Bethlehem took place across the West Bank after Palestinian political factions called on the people to show their solidarity with the Holy site in Jerusalem. Violence and high tensions have been on the rise in Eastern Jerusalem and in the West Bank as Israeli soldiers have continued to storm Al Aqsa compound and assault Palestinian Muslim worshipers, while damaging the mosque. On Monday, at least 22 Palestinians were injured during clashes in Al Aqsa Compound. Many Palestinian politicians, including Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, have warned that if Israeli soldiers continue to accost worshipers and storm the Al Aqsa compound, this newest round of violence and tensions may lead to a bigger conflict or even an uprising.
