RAMALLAH, July 25-- Anger is spreading in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, after Israeli government has installed new security measures at the entrance of East Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque since July 14. Palestinians demonstrate daily in various places in East Jerusalem and West Bank cities that often turns out to deadly clashes with Israeli forces. On Tuesday, some Palestinians held a sit-in at the International Red Cross office in the West Bank City of Ramallah. Then they marched towards Bet El check point, opposing Isreali measures at Al-Aqsa mosque compound. On July 14, three Palestinians and two Israeli officers were killed in a shooting attack inside the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, to which the Israeli government responded by installing new surveillance cameras and metal detectors to search Palestinians walking into the Islamic site. On Tuesday morning, Israeli authorities removed the metal detectors and some of the cameras and started installing alternative wide gates, according to sources in the city. But it is not yet known what the new security measures will include. The decision came right after a deal was reached between Jordanian Monarch, King Abdullah II and Israeli Prime Minister in the wake of a shooting attack in which an Israeli embassy guard shot dead two Jordanians in Amman. The deal included returning the guard who killed the two Jordanians to Israeli authorities in return for removing the new gates at Al-Aqsa mosque. |
