Israeli police closed the entrances to Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site after Palestinian suspects threw a firebomb at a police station on Tuesday, authorities said. The rare move drew angry reactions across the Muslim world.
There were no injuries reported from the firebombing. Police quickly deployed across the hilltop compound, scuffling with Palestinians in the area, as they searched for the assailants. Two Palestinian minors were arrested and police were seen shoving and wrestling several people to the ground.
Firas Dibs, spokesman for the Waqf, the Jordanian-appointed Islamic body that administers the site, said police had cleared nearly all worshipers from the compound."All doors are closed and no one is allowed in," he said. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas denounced the"dangerous Israeli escalation" and warned of"serious repercussions." In a statement, he called on the international community to intervene.
"We cannot accept such reckless attacks on holy sites and the whole world needs to react against it," the Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency quoted Cavusoglu as saying.
