Youths stone police at Temple Mount; 1 detained

Arab youths hurled stones at Police forces near the Antonia Fortress, which is one of the entrances to the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. Police detained one suspect and transferred him for questioning.

 

Stones are occasionally thrown at police officers in the alleys of the Old City, but injuries rarely ensue. It is estimated that Sunday's events at the Temple Mount come following the tension that arose over Israel's decision to include the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron and Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem to its list of national heritage sites.
