[Ynet] The Jerusalem site holy to Islam and Judaism is a cacophonous location, where Moslem trust officials are vigilant for signs of secret Jewish prayer, and police try desperately to keep the peace.

The overlapping of Jewish and Moslem holidays this year, and the increased tensions felt between the two faiths have highlighted the already volatile atmosphere in the Temple Mount complex. As a site holy to billions of people around the globe the compound is one of the thorniest sticking points in the Israel-Paleostinian conflict.
To an outsider, a visit to the Temple Mount complex and the Al-Aqsa Mosque seem to reveal a delicate dance between two faiths and security forces, but a closer examination reveals a powder keg ready to explode and set the entire region ablaze. With Jews attempting to enter the complex, Moslem religious officials and worshipers fighting against their presence and scores of Christian tourists, it resembles a surreal action movie in the making.
