The shadow of Palestinians is seen on an Israeli barrier as they wait in a line at the Qalandia checkpoint, to cross into Jerusalem to take part in the Friday noon prayers at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, on the second Friday of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, on July 11, 2014. Israeli warplanes kept up deadly raids on Gaza but failed to stop Palestinian militants firing rockets across the border, as the United States offered to help negotiate a truce. Photo by Shadi Hatem
