The Red Crescent says that 20 Palestinians have been wounded in clashes with Israeli security forces atop the Temple Mount.

Several are believed to have been injured by tear gas. Earlier, Palestinian media reports claimed that one man was wounded by a rubber bullet.

The clashes come amid heightened tensions on the final day that Jewish visitors are allowed to access the site ahead of a closure until the end of Ramadan.
