Jerusalem, multiple countries
A Palestinian girl shouts in front of Israeli border policemen during a protest against Israeli excavations near the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City February 8, 2007. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has spurned a call to consider halting excavation work near Jerusalem's most sensitive shrine, which has angered Muslims and threatened a Gaza ceasefire deal. Palestinians have warned Israel the work near a compound housing the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa mosque, Islam's third holiest site, could derail a shaky truce in Gaza with the Jewish state.
