Police restore order after Arab youths hurl rocks at Kotel worshipers.

Fifteen policemen were lightly wounded in their attempt to restore order on
the Temple Mount after Arab youths emerging from Friday prayers started
hurling rocks down onto those worshiping at the Western Wall.

Having restored calm with the use of stun grenades, police left the Temple
Mount compound in cooperation with the waqf to allow older worshipers to
leave.

Last Sunday, Jerusalem's Old City erupted in violence as clashes between
Arab rioters and security forces broke out on the Temple Mount and spread
into the alleyways of the Muslim Quarter and the east Jerusalem neighborhood
of Ras el-Amud. Four policemen were wounded and upwards of a dozen Muslim
protesters were reportedly hurt during the clashes.

The repeated clashes in Jerusalem follow Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's
announcement incorporating the Cave of the Patriarch's in Hebron and
Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem onto Israel's list of national heritage sites.
