Fifteen Palestinian protesters were arrested and two Israeli policemen
injured during clashes at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam's third
holiest site, according to police. Dozens of officers fired stun
grenades to disperse worshipers, Israeli police spokesman Micky
Rosenfeld said. The cause of the incident was not immediately clear.
Tensions in the region have been running high since Israel recently
accelerated the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
Palestine strongly opposes settlement construction on the disputed
territories.
