Hundreds of Muslims held a protest march in Jerusalem's Old City Friday, against the IDF raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla Monday. The protestors marched through the alleys carrying Turkish flags.

 

Police chief Dudi Cohen visited the capital earlier Friday, before prayer services were to be conducted at Temple Mount, and held a situation assessment with senior-ranking officers.

At the end of the meeting it was decided to limit the entrance of worshippers to the holy site, and no violent incidents occurred during the services.

Police allowed the march to take place, however, and sources told Ynet that as long as the protestors were not violent they would be allowed to proceed
