Israel installs security cameras near holy site
Cairo - Mena
Israel has placed CCTV cameras near an entrance to a holy site in Jerusalem as tensions over security measures there continue, the BBC reported.
Metal detectors were installed after the killing of two Israeli policemen have sparked protests by Palestinians.
It remains unclear if the metal detectors will be removed.
Tensions over the holy of al Haram al Sharif have surged in recent days, with further deaths.
Israel said that three Arab-Israelis who carried out the 14 July shooting near the compound were able to smuggle guns inside and that metal detectors are needed to stop similar attacks. Police chased the attackers into the site afterwards and shot them dead.
But Palestinians strongly object to the installation of metal detectors. They see it as a move by Israel to assert more control over the sacred site and as a violation of longstanding access arrangements.
Many Palestinians have prayed in the streets instead of going through the metal detectors.
