Storyline


Deadly clashes between Palestinian worshipers and Israeli security forces broke out after security cabinet announced Friday to maintain the current security measures at the Temple Mount.

Israeli security forces announced Friday morning they will continue putting metal detectors and other security devices outside the Temple Mount gates, also known as Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Additional checkpoints have been set up in and around the Old City of Jerusalem, and police officers deployed to check the identity documents of Palestinians coming to pray in the holy site.

The move triggered a slew of sporadic conflicts across east Jerusalem and several locations along the West Bank, sending the already strained tensions between the two sides spiraling to a boiling point.

At a newly set checkout near the Damascus Gate, Israeli police barred male Palestinians from entering, leaving more than half of worshipers outside. As the battle unfurled, the police used stun grenades and rubber bullets to disperse the massive crowds. Witnesses said several Palestinians were injured.

"I passed about three or four checkpoints, too difficult to reach, so sometimes I have to walk on foot to reach this place. This is very difficult," said Ayoub A. Turki, a Palestinian worshiper.

The Palestinians claim Israel has no power to unilaterally install metal detectors and other security measures without seeking permission from the Palestinian people and Jordan, custodian of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem.

"These metal detectors should be removed. Why should it be removed? Because it's an attempt to say that it's an Israeli sovereignty upon Al-Aqsa, Jerusalem east and Al-Aqsa are under occupation," said Ahmad Tibi, deputy speaker of the Israeli Knesset.

Nonetheless, Israelis deem the additional security measures as necessary to ensure security and maintain order.

A correspondent, covering Palestinian affairs for Israeli Channel 2, echoed similar sentiments.

"I do think that you see all of this kind of gates all over the world. You can see them even in Mecca. You can see them wherever you want. These kind of measures are reasonable as far as I see it," noted Ohad Hemo, the correspondent.

The security measures were imposed following an attack in which three Israeli Arab gunmen shot two Israeli police officers to death in the mosque last week.

Given the long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, it remains to be seen whether the security measures will help prevent additional attacks or give further rise to the simmering tensions between the two countries.
