(Worthy News) – Palestinian worshipers clashed with Israeli police on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on Tuesday, trying to force their way into an area of the flash-point holy compound that has been closed for years. Police said 19 Palestinians were arrested.

Palestinian medics reported that several protesters were injured in the standoff. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
