Palestine-israel

The Al-Aqsa mosque is situated on a hill known to Jews as Har ha-Bayit, or Temple Mount, and to Muslims internationally as al-Haram al-Sharif, or The Noble Sanctuary.

At least 31 Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli police at Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem on Friday, Palestinian medics said, the latest outbreak in a recent upsurge of violence at a site revered by Muslims and Jews alike.

Two Palestinians stabbed three Israelis near Jerusalem's Old City on today before police shot them, killing one attacker and wounding the other, police said.

UN Chief Ban Ki-moon pleaded for an end to spiralling violence today as he met Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas in a bid to calm three weeks of deadly unrest.
