Palestinians, Israeli police clash at major holy site in Jerusalem
By Joseph Krauss, Associated Press, Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM — Palestinians and Israeli police clashed at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem on Friday as thousands gathered for prayers during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Medics said more than 150 Palestinians were wounded — Palestinians threw rocks and Israeli police fired stun grenades in what was the most serious violence at the site in nearly a year… Israeli police accused Palestinians of ‘defiling and desecrating’ a holy site… Palestinian witnesses, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns, said a group of Palestinians threw rocks at police, who then entered the compound in force, setting off a wider conflagration… Video footage showed police beating a photographer for the Waqf with batons before knocking him to ground and kicking him.
The Waqf said the photographer, Rami Khatib, suffered a broken hand…”
Context added by this archive
The single named Palestinian is a photographer, and he is named because he was beaten while photographing. Rami Khatib. The archive’s press-itself thread and its naming thread meet in one sentence.
