Doors broken off at Gate of Mercy.



Last Friday a group of Palestinians tore off doors at the Gate of Mercy.  The doors lead to a building adjacent to the east wall of the Temple Mount that has been the site of conflict in recent weeks.  In response the Jerusalem Magistrate Court ordered that the building be closed.  The Waqf has been given 60 days to respond.
