Additionally, Jordan will submit a formal complaint to the U.N. Security Council regarding Israel's actions, according to reports.
Israeli forces clashed with Palestinian protestors after police stormed the al-Aqsa mosque trying to remove protestors who staged a sit in there, Al Arabiya News Channel correspondent reported.


Demonstrators threw stones at Israeli police who entered “several meters” inside the mosque to remove blockages set up by the protesters in order to lock them inside, police spokeswoman Luba Samri was quoted as saying by AFP.
Omar Alkeswani, a Palestinian manager of al-Aqsa, said police entered the mosque and that 20 people were wounded in the clash, Reuters news agency reported.
