    Al Aqsa Mosque Tensions: Israel Bans Men Under 50 From Jerusalem Holy Site – B
    JERUSALEM — Israeli police banned men under the age of 50 from entering one of Jerusalem’s holiest sites as a security measure ahead of expected protests Friday.

    Palestinians have been angered by the installation of metal detectors at the shrine with some calling for a “day of rage.”

    The devices were installed after two Israeli policeman were shot dead at the site which is known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as Temple Mount.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to discuss with security chiefs whether to remove the detectors late Thursday before Israeli media reported they would remain in place

    Mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barakat, said Friday that decision was “courageous” even if it leads to “security challenges.”
