Muslim worshippers pray near site of attack

(14 Jul 2017) Muslim worshippers performed prayers in the streets near Jerusalem's walled Old City after police sealed off the area in the wake of a Palestinian shooting attack that killed two Israeli policemen. Friday noon prayers mark the highlight of the Muslim religious week. Tens of thousands of faithful typically pray at a major shrine in the Old City, revered by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and by Jews as the Temple Mount. The compound is the holiest site in Judaism and the third-holiest in Islam. Police closed the shrine after three Palestinian assailants opened fire from there early on Friday morning, killing two policemen. The three attackers were killed in the subsequent shoot out. With the shrine off limits, the faithful lined up near Damascus Gate and other entrances to the Old City. Worshippers dispersed after the prayers without incident.
