- Story Text: Israel must remove all security measures installed around Jerusalem's al-Aqsa compound since July 14, Palestinian official Nasser Al-Qudwa said on Wednesday (July 26).
Tensions remained high in Jerusalem after Israel removed metal detectors from entrances to the Temple Mount-Noble Sanctuary compound.
Israel installed the detectors at entry points to Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem after Israeli Arabs shot dead two Israeli policemen at the site holy to both Jews and Muslims on July 14, setting off the bloodiest clashes between Israelis and Palestinians in years. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
