Israeli border police block a road in Jerusalem as Muslims pray Friday, October 31. A day after taking the rare step of closing the Temple Mount, Israel partially reopened access for Muslim prayers Friday. But midday access was granted only to men over 50 and women. Israeli police said this was meant to prevent demonstrations by young Muslim men following the recent shootings of a controversial rabbi and a Palestinian suspect in the rabbi's shooting.
