Jerusalem: Clashes Heighten over Al-Aqsa Mosque

Ongoing confrontations between Palestinians and Israeli forces over the Al-Aqsa Mosque have extended from East Jerusalem to the entire occupied West Bank. While Palestinian women have not been subjected to age restrictions, Palestinian men under the age of 50 have been barred from visiting the mosque since Monday. This is the third holiest site for Muslims, while many Jews refer to it as the Temple Mount and regard it as a holy site themselves. Reports indicate that there were dozens of injuries, including at least seven wounded in demonstrations in Ramallah. teleSUR
