Israel has called up a few hundred reservists to beef up security following outbreaks of violence and Palestinian riots at the Har HaBayis.

Friday’s decision to draft border police officers came after a week in which Palestinians repeatedly attacked police at the Har Habayis. One Israeli was killed as a result of a rock-throwing attack and several others were wounded elsewhere during the week.

Police put thousands of officers on patrol and also banned Muslim men under the age of 40 from going on the Har Habayis.

Smaller clashes continued in Jerusalem and in Palestinian occupied Hebron on Friday.
