Israeli security and Palestinians clash in East Jerusalem
 

https://s1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/V...d6257f93ff48a9There are fresh fears of a new Palestinian uprising following the outbreak of clashes in East Jerusalem. It comes after Israeli police shot dead a 32-year-old Palestinian man suspected of having tried late last night to kill a far-right Jewish activist. Moataz Hejazi?s body lay in a pool of blood among satellite dishes on the rooftop of a three-storey house in Abu Tor, a district of Arab East Jerusalem as Israeli forces sealed the area and repelled stone-throwing Palestinian protesters. Yehuda Glick has led a campaign for Jews to be allowed to pray at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, Jerusalem?s most sensitive site and holy to Islam and Judaism. He was shot and seriously wounded as he left a conference, his assailant escaping on the back of a motorbike. Glick?s far-right followers subsequently urged his supporters to march on Al-Aqsa this morning. That prompted Israeli police to shut access to the site to everyone; a rare blanket measure, which the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas de**unced as ?tantamount to a declaration of war?.
