  • Story Text: Palestinians held prayers outside Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem on Monday (July 24), refusing to pass through newly-installed Israeli security measures.
    Israel said on Sunday (July 23) that would not remove metal detectors after their installation outside the mosque triggered the bloodiest clashes with the Palestinians in years, but could eventually reduce their use.
    Incensed at what they perceive as a violation of delicate decades-old access arrangements at Islam's third-holiest site, many Palestinians have refused to go through the metal detectors, holding street prayers and often violent protests.
