Israeli police, Palestinian youths clash on Temple Mount
| Feb 28, 2010 20:53 Moscow Time |
Four officers and at least eight rioters are known injured after Israeli police clashed with some two dozen stone-throwing Palestinian youths on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. Reports say the policemen were reacting to an attempt to hurl rocks at non-Moslem visitors to the site. A running battle that ensued spread into the surrounding Arab-populated streets of East Jerusalem. The Temple Mount supports two of the holiest Moslem shrines, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. Intrusion by Israeli police is a rare emergency.
