Israeli police decided to break up a contentious Jewish march in Jerusalem on Monday after rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, as tensions in the city are running high after days of violent clashes involving Israeli police, Muslim worshippers and both Jewish and Palestinian protesters.
Clashes which unfolded Monday morning on the Temple Mount compound left more than 300 Palestinians wounded, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent, prompting an Israeli decision to bar Jews from entering the holy site, one of several flashpoints in the city, as Muslims mark the final days of Ramadan and Jewish Israelis celebrate Jerusalem Day.
