HUNDREDS of Palestinians have clashed with police in several east
Jerusalem neighbourhoods amid heightened religious and political tension
in the Holy City.

Police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades at protesters in the
Shuafat refugee camp who hurled rocks at security forces. The
Palestinians dispersed after army troops moved in.

Similar clashes broke out in other parts of east Jerusalem.

Police said they deployed 3000 policemen across the city early today.

The reopening of a landmark synagogue in Jerusalem's walled Old City on
Monday further fuelled tension following several weeks of clashes.

The government's announcement last week of plans for new Jewish settler
homes in mainly Arab east Jerusalem infuriated the Palestinians, as well
as the US administration that had sent Vice President Joe Biden to the
region to promote new Middle East peace talks.
