Israeli Police Stop Muslim Worshippers From Entering Holy Site for 4 Hours
JERUSALEM — Israeli police stopped Muslim worshippers from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for four hours Sunday morning to prevent contact between Muslims and Jews at the site. The move led to brief clashes in nearby side streets, two days after a more intense bout of violence erupted at the holy complex.
The developments compounded the tensions in Jerusalem, which have risen sharply in recent weeks after an unusually deadly wave of Arab attacks in Israel killed 14 people and after an ensuing Israeli crackdown in the occupied West Bank killed at least 15. The violence Sunday began after police, seeking to prevent contact between Muslims and Jews who were about to enter the compound during regular weekday visiting hours, confined Muslims who were already inside it to small parts of the site.
