The clashes took place on Friday.
According to a statement released by the Israeli police, the Palestin hurled rocks and threw fireworks at security forces. Israeli police used tear gas to disperse the crowd.
"We will not allow extremists to hijack Jerusalem's holy places," the Israeli Foreign Ministry tweeted after the prayers ended.
