On Tuesday, Israeli soldiers attacked Palestinian worshipers inside the mosque, firing stun grenades and tear gas at them.
At least 20 Palestinians were injured and several others were arrested during the raid, according to a Palestinian eyewitness.
The Israeli troops also attacked al-Qibla Mosque in al-Quds, burned its gate and broke its windows. Palestinians were, however, quick to extinguish the fire.
The al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, along with its surrounding compound in the Israeli-occupied Old City of al-Quds is a flashpoint. The site is revered by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and by Jews as the Temple Mount.
The Tel Aviv regime has tried to change the demographic makeup of al-Quds over the past decades by constructing illegal settlements, destroying historical sites and expelling the local Palestinian population.
On Monday, more than 200 Israeli soldiers stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque, and attacked the Palestinians there.

The Israeli raids against the holy site have been internationally denounced.
Jordans King Abdullah II warned Israel against any further violence at the al-Aqsa compound, saying, Any more provocation in Jerusalem will affect the relationship between Jordan and Israel.
Jordan will not have a choice but to take actions, unfortunately, he said.
The ministerial councils of the Arab League also issued a statement on Sunday, warning Tel Aviv against the possible consequences of its actions.
Jordan and the Arab League, however, have failed to take action against Israel in the face of previous provocations at al-Aqsa.
In a Sunday statement, United Nations (UN) Special Coordinator for Middle East Nickolay Mladenov expressed concern over the violence perpetrated by Israeli forces in East al-Quds, saying, I encourage all to stand firmly against incitement and violence.
