Israeli troops stormed the mosque after a group of settlers tried to enter the compound as Palestinians were saying their Friday Prayers, sparking clashes.
At least five people, including two photographers, were injured after Israeli troops intervened and fired stun grenades. Several Palestinians were also arrested.
The situation at the al-Aqsa, which is one of Islam's holiest sites, has been tense over the past week. On Thursday, at least nine people were arrested after Palestinian worshipers and Israeli settlers clashed inside the compound.
Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967, and annexed East al-Quds, where the holy al-Aqsa Mosque is located, a move not recognized by the international community.
Palestinians want that part of the city as capital of their future state.
