Praying Jewish women pray as they hide from the stones that were thrown to the western wall during clashes in Jerusalem's Old City after the Al Aqsa Friday prayers February 9, 2007. Israel says it needs to replace a centuries-old earthen ramp leading to the hilltop compound, known to Jews as Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, which was damaged heavily in a 2004 snowstorm. It has promised the work would cause no harm to Islamic shrines at the site, some 60 meters (yards) away, but those assurances have not calmed Muslim outrage over the project.
