Photo: File- ReutersJERUSALEM: A Palestinian died after being shot in the head in an East Jerusalem neighbourhood near the Old City on Friday, the Palestinian health ministry said, as clashes broke out in the area.
The ministry, however, did not specify who was behind the shooting in the Ras al-Amud neighbourhood.
Clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians erupted around Jerusalem´s Old City on Friday over new security measures at a highly sensitive holy site.
Friday´s unrest came after Israeli ministers decided not to order the removal of metal detectors erected at entrances to the Haram al-Sharif mosque compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, following an attack nearby a week ago that killed two policemen.
In anticipation of protests on Friday, Israeli police barred men under 50 from entering Jerusalem's Old City for prayers, while all women were allowed in.
