WATCH: Live footage from al-Aqsa Mosque

The violent Israeli raid on al-Aqsa Mosque has come as a shock on Monday morning.

Though an incendiary Israeli march is expected through Jerusalem today, as Israel celebrates the anniversary of its 1967 capture of Jerusalem's eastern neighbourhoods, security officials had reportedly decided to restrict Jews from entering al-Aqsa's complex itself.

Thousands of Palestinians therefore believed they would be able to pray at the site in peace this morning. But instead hundreds of Israeli police have stormed the mosque.
