Palestinian women protest following minor clashes at a compound in Jerusalem's Old City
Palestinian women protest following minor clashes at the compound known to Muslims as Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City, as the Dome of the Rock is seen in the background September 25, 2013. Minor clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police erupted on Wednesday morning at the compound in Jerusalem's Old City which houses the al-Asqa mosque, and which Jews revere as the vestige of their ancient temples, following Israel's admittance of Jewish visitors to the site. An Israeli police spokesman said two people were detained for throwing stones at policemen in the Old City. REUTERS/Ammar Awad (JERUSALEM - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST RELIGION)
