Ramadan prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque
Meanwhile, a mass Passover benediction went about at the adjacent Western Wall. Al-Aqsa Mosque is known as Temple Mount in Judaism and small groups of Jewish visitors under heavy police guard walked through the mosque compound.
Thousands of worshippers gathered for the Passover's special "Priestly Blessing" at the Western Wall below just as the Ramadan prayers ended.
Thousands of Jewish worshippers attended mass prayer at Western Wall in Jerusalem.
A security crisis set off last week at the Al-Aqsa compound when Israeli police entered the mosque to remove what they said were youths barricaded inside armed with rocks and fireworks.
At Al-Aqsa, the special Tarawih Ramadan prayer on Saturday night ended peacefully despite fears violence would erupt there once more.
