The Jordanian government on Sunday condemned Israel for what it terms as the 'storming' of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem's Old City. Israeli police raided the plaza outside Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque on Sunday in what they said was a bid to head off Palestinian attempts to disrupt visits by Jews and foreign tourists on the eve of the Jewish New Year. The Palestinian youths, Israeli police said in a statement, had intended 'to disrupt the routine of visits to the Temple Mount on the eve of Rosh Hashana', the Jewish New Year, which begins at sunset on Sunday.
