The Jewish Passover holiday begins Monday night and tensions often rise around the Al Aqsa Mosque Compound during this period.

During Passover, ultranationalist Jews enter the compound, some seeking to pray and sacrifice livestock – both highly provocative to Palestinians.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest site in Islam.

The compound, which Jews refer to as the Temple Mount, is a flashpoint during religious holidays.

Clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians are common.

Israel has already been restricting Palestinians’ access to the mosque compound amid tensions over its war on Gaza.
