Security beefed up in Jerusalem

RAMALLAH, June 4 (KUNA) -- Israeli forces beefed up security in Jerusalem since the early hours of Friday, and will be preventing Palestinians from entering the city.
Israeli radio said police would prevent men under the age of 40 from entering Jerusalem and the Old City to perform the Friday Prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The deployment of troops came upon news that the Palestinians intended to organize a massive protest against Israel's attack on the 'Freedom Flotilla' last Monday. (end) nq.ema KUNA 041126 Jun 10NNNN
