Israeli border guards fire a stun grenade in an attempt to disperse Palestinian Muslim worshippers outside Lions’ Gate, a main entrance to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem’s Old City, yesterday, as they gather in protest against new Israeli security measures implemented at the holy site. Two Palestinians died in clashes with Israeli forces yesterday as the army moved in to seal off an attacker’s home. The Middle East diplomatic quartet expressed concern about escalating violence and called on all sides to “demonstrate maximum restraint.”
