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… Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett ordered additional security on public buses going to the Old City after a situation assessment with top defense officials. ‘We are working to calm things down on the one hand and are taking vigorous action against violent individuals on the other,’ he said.”

The third printing of the same paragraphs. Only here does the deck say who was wounded and who the police were clearing the way for; the headline above it still says only that clashes erupted.
