Seven Israeli police injured in clashes
Palestinian protesters threw stones at Israeli police guarding a disputed holy site today, slightly wounding seven officers, including Jerusalem’s police chief, authorities said.
Police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said the clash broke out after police barred several hundred Palestinian youths from reaching the site, which houses the Al Aqsa Mosque compound. The youths threw rocks at the officers, and Chief Ilan Franco received several stitches for a wound to his leg.
