Jerusalem police will bar Arab men under the age of 45 and women under the age of 35 from entering the Temple Mount Friday because of the security situation and warnings of violence, newly appointed Jerusalem police chief Ilan Franco said.
He cited the upheaval in Gaza as the underlying reason for the limitations. Tens of thousands of Arabs usually attend prayers at the holy site on Friday, the Muslim Sabbath.
