Transcribed from the clipping

“JERUSALEM — Israeli police on Sunday entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem’s Old City to secure the way for Jewish visitors to the flashpoint holy site, fueling clashes that left 17 Palestinians wounded, according to Palestinian medical workers… Omer Barlev, the Israeli minister in charge of the police, said it was important to ensure freedom of worship ‘but we will not compromise when violence and terror take place.’”
