Clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police resumed at the Al-Aqsa Mosque Saturday, the second straight night of violence at one of the holiest sites for both Muslims and Jews.

A beefed-up police presence stopped traffic and scoured the crowds packed on buses headed to the mosque Saturday, where an estimated 90,000 worshipers packed in to observe Laylat al-Qadr, one of the most important nights during the holy month of Ramadan, commemorating the revelation of the Quran to Mohammed.

The prior night, the last Friday of Ramadan, more than 200 Palestinians and 18 Israeli police officers were injured after Israeli police stormed the mosque compound in Jerusalem’s Old City in response to getting hit with bottles and rocks.

Hundreds of Israeli cops in riot gear burst into the compound, firing rubber bullets and stun grenades at thousands of Palestinians. They were met with rocks and firecrackers in response.

The hilltop where the mosque sits, known as the Temple Mount to Israelis, is the site of the two biblical temples and considered the holiest place in the world for Jews.

The confrontations came after a week of protests in the nearby Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in support of six Palestinian families facing an Israeli court order to vacate their homes so Israeli settlers can move in.

The unrest also coincided with Al-Quds Day, an annual show of solidarity with the Palestinians by Iran and its allies.

On official Palestinian Authority television, President Mahmoud Abbas blamed Israel for what he deemed “vicious aggression” in the Al-Aqsa compound.

Palestinian terror groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which often fires rockets from Gaza into Israeli territory, threatened Israel after Friday’s violence.

Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh said that Israel would “pay a price” for the clashes at the mosque.

The group on Saturday said “nightly confusion units” had started rioting at the border fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel.

“Protesters light rubber tires and throw improvised explosive devices as they come to the aid of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque,” Hamas media outlet al-Resalah said, the Times of Israel reported.

Police responded with tear gas and stun grenades.

Hamas followers also continued to release “incendiary balloons” with anti-Israel slogans written on them, to be flown across the border.

Dozens of fires along the border Thursday, Friday and Saturday were attributed to the balloons. Only one caused substantial damage, hitting a wheat field.

Worshipers at Al-Aqsa expressed support for Hamas’ military wing.

“Strike Tel Aviv,” they chanted. “In spirit and in blood, we will redeem al-Aqsa.”
