  • Story Text: Palestinian worshippers clashed with Israeli security forces outside a Jerusalem shrine on Friday (July 21) over the installation of metal detectors at its entry point, and at least two Palestinians were killed.
    Israeli security forces detained several men in a neighbourhood of East Jerusalem somewhat away from the epicentre of tension in the walled Old City. Palestinians reported dozens of wounded and at least two dead.
    There have been daily confrontations between Palestinians hurling rocks and Israeli police using stun grenades since the detectors were placed outside the sacred venue, known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as Temple Mount, on Sunday, following the killing of two Israeli policemen.
