LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: In other news this morning, Israelis and Palestinians are fighting again today at one of Jerusalem's holiest sites and there are injuries to report. Our Jerrold Kessel is covering this developing story, he joins us now live from Jerusalem -- Jerrold.</s>JERROLD KESSEL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Leon, it can be described as mayhem on the Mount, that's the sacred site, sacred to both Jews and Moslems here in Jerusalem, which the Jews know as Temple Mount, the Muslim world as Haram al-Sharif, the Noble Sanctuary. But major clashes this morning. And we understand now, speaking to Palestinian hospitals in East Jerusalem, Palestinian part of town, three confirmed dead Palestinians, and they say more than 200 wounded at those hospitals. On the Israeli side, several dozen policemen and worshipers wounded. The clashes broke out seriously at the end of noon day prayers, the Muslim -- the Muslim main, Muslim prayers are on Friday, and worshipers came out, according to the Israelis, began stoning Israeli police on duty on the outskirts of this walled compound of the sacred site, and they, after being stoned -- and also they say the Israeli worshipers at the Western Wall, the sacred Jewish site adjacent to the compound, the police opened fire with, they say, rubber bullets, steel-coated rubber bullets, and also from the Palestinian side live fire, according the Palestinians, that's yet to be confirmed, and that has caused major injuries, and we understand three deaths as well in the second straight day of violence on this site, which is also of course very strenuously contested by the two sides in their ongoing but now faltering peace process. And this violence here in Jerusalem today follows another lethal incident on the West Bank, where a Palestinian, apparently a Palestinian policeman, shot dead a colleague from a joint patrol run with the Israelis, an Israeli shot dead there, and this violence beginning now to escalate here in Jerusalem, certainly a very serious day, although now a tense quiet prevailing over that sacred spot. I'm Jerrold Kessel, CNN, reporting live from Jerusalem.</s>HARRIS: All right, thank you, Jerrold.
