Palestinians storm Bethlehem barrier
- 12 years ago
Palestinian men storm a Bethlehem security barrier.
Shoving ensues as they try to make their way to pray in Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque, Islam's third most sacred site.
Many living in the Israeli-controlled West Bank, mostly including men aged 12 to 40, are turned back.
During the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, many Palestinians say Israel should guarantee access to religious sites.
But Israel says security restrictions are already looser than in recent years.
