  • Story Text: Dozens of Palestinians in the West Bank city of Bethlehem prayed on Sunday (July 23) behind models they made of the metal detectors that Israeli police has put at the entrances of al-Aqsa mosque. They later set the models on fire.
    After the protest, Palestinians hurled stones at the Israeli forces who responded by dispersing the protest.
    Israel installed new security cameras at the entrance to a major Jerusalem mosque earlier on Sunday, Israeli media and witnesses said, the latest development in a controversy that triggered the bloodiest confrontations with the Palestinians in years.
    Israel said on Sunday it would not remove the metal detectors whose installation outside the holy site triggered the violence, but could eventually reduce their use.
