An Israeli police spokesman said on Friday that 10 Palestinians were detained on suspicion of throwing stones at policemen who were deployed in the Old City and in nearby Palestinian neighbourhoods of Jerusalem, amid recent tensions over Israel's admittance of Jewish visitors to a holy site in the Old City, which houses the al-Asq
