AP, JERUSALEMThree Palestinians were killed in street clashes in Jerusalem and three Israelis died in a stabbing attack at a West Bank settlement as tensions turned into violence over the Holy Land’s most contested shrine. It said the Palestinian killed a man and two of his children, while a woman was wounded and taken to a hospital. At issue in the current round of violence are metal detectors Israel installed at the Jerusalem shrine this week in response to an attack by Arab gunmen there. Earlier on Friday, several thousand Palestinians in Jerusalem and the West Bank clashed with Israeli troops, burning tires and throwing stones and firecrackers. White clouds of tear gas rose from Jerusalem streets and West Bank flashpoints.
