A Palestinian artist paints a mural drawing depicting the Dome of the Rock Mosque against Israeli security measures that were implemented at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem the previous week prior to being removed after their installation triggered deadly violence in Gaza city on July 25, 2017. The Israeli move came in the face of intensive international diplomacy seeking to stop the dispute over the Haram al-Sharif mosque compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, sparking wider Palestinian unrest. The government said it would introduce subtler measures instead to secure the compound, which houses the revered Al-Aqsa mosque and Dome of the Rock, following a deadly attack on Israeli police nearby.
