Stun grenades used to disperse Palestinian worshippers
Police stormed a disputed Jerusalem holy site today, throwing stun grenades to disperse hundreds of Palestinian worshippers who threw stones at police and Jewish visitors.
The confrontation came as Israel marked “Jerusalem Day", the anniversary of its capture of traditionally Arab east Jerusalem during the 1967 Mideast war. The disputed holy site, the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, is in the eastern sector of Jerusalem, claimed by the Palestinians as a future capital.
