tense

As expected, problems in the Old City began when muslims gathered in their thousands to enter the Al Aksa Mosque= to be exact 90,000. Five arabs were arrested for attacking an Israeli police. Thousands of others have been turn away because the age limit to enter has risen - 50 yrs for men, 45 yrs for women. Before this year, women of any age could enter the mosque. This age limit is imposed by the Israeli security with the idea that any young muslim is a potential trouble maker inside the mosque that can turn into full-scale riots. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1251145141017&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

Right now helicopters are flying overhead. I can hear lots of shouting and noise but don't know what it is about - and I don't intend to go out and find out!
