New Developments: Mass Clashes Between Muslims and Jews

Massive clashes have erupted between Muslims and Jews on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, resulting in 150 injuries. According to Readovka, the disturbances were sparked by a parade of Palestinians carrying flags of the ruling HAMAS movement in the Gaza Strip. Today in Jerusalem, two holy observances coincide: the Jewish Passover and Ramadan for Muslims.

A group of Palestinians began throwing stones at Jewish worshippers near the Western Wall and members of the Israeli security forces, injuring three police officers with rocks. In response to the unrest, Israeli law enforcement was compelled to use stun grenades and smoke bombs to suppress the riots.
