Israel opens Old City to Palestinians after 2-day closure

Israel is lifting two days of restrictions on Muslim worship at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount which were imposed after the killing of two Israelis nearby by Palestinian terrorists, police says.

“So far the decision is to return to normal procedures, with no restrictions on entry of worshippers,” police spokeswoman Luba Samri says in a statement, but warning that the decision could change again if security concerns dictated it.
