Jerusalem: Israeli cops storm mosque
ISRAELI police stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem again yesterday as Palestinian protesters barricaded themselves inside.
Young Palestinians occupied the mosque, one of the holiest sites in both Islam and Judaism, defying an order permitting only men over the age of 50 from entering the compound for prayers.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri claimed the demonstrators had stockpiled petrol bombs, fireworks and stones to throw as missiles.
