Shots

Can hear shouting and chanting from the Temple esplanade. Went out to the terrace to see what was happening. Lots of chanting and shouting but can't see much. Only lots of soldiers blocking the Lions' gate. Shots were fired.

We 're not sure what actually happened - whether Jews trying to enter the mosque (It's eve of Yom Kippur when the High Priest used to enter the Holy of Holies to pray for the forgiveness of Israel's sins), or muslims protesting over something. But it doesn't look good.
