Palestinians cheer as Israel reopens last Temple Mount entrance

Over a thousand Palestinian protesters cheer as the Huta Gate north of the Temple Mount is reopened, as Israel capitulates to the final condition of Muslim worshipers who demanded the security measures at the holy site be returned to what they were before a July 14 attack outside the site in which two Israeli police officers were killed.

Crowds of worshipers celebrate the move, and lift Muhammed Hussein, the Mufti of Jerusalem, on their shoulders as they proceed to the Al-Aqsa Mosque for afternoon prayers.
