- 10 years ago
Israeli forces move in on Palestinian protesters outside Jerusalem's most important mosque.
One man is arrested by an undercover Israeli policeman.
The clashes in east Jerusalem began with Palestinians protesters hurling rocks and targeting Israeli forces with fireworks.
It took place during Friday prayers, as the Israeli military offensive on Gaza moved into its 18th day. The death toll now stands at well over 800 and international pressure for a ceasefire is mounting.
Among Israeli residents in Jerusalem, mixed feelings about the operation.
SOUNDBITE: Jerusalem resident Aner Breminger saying:
"The war can end in a week or two but the problems will stay forever and I don't see a real solution to the situation unless we can come to some sort of negotiation with the people, and that will probably take a long, long time. We are all standing with what we are doing right now, we all support it I believe, and we should finish what we started."
