JERUSALEM –
Israel gets the metal detectors in the entrance of the temple mount in Jerusalem. They are replaced by other “less-intrusive technical means”.
Israel placed the metal detectors after a stop at one of the entrances of the temple mount. It killed three Israeli Arabs, two Israeli police officers. The perpetrators were also shot. The gates stood on the Palestinian side of the temple mount.
The arrival of the metal detectors caused unrest and riots among the Palestinian population. The temple mount with the wailing wall and the al-Aqsa mosque is a holy place for jews and muslims.
