Israel says it informed Jordan, the custodian of the holy site. The Palestinians say they were not informed by the Israelis about the detectors. WHY ARE PALESTINIANS SO ANGRY ABOUT THE MOVE? Non-Muslims are allowed to visit the area as tourists and they enter through a separate gate where metal detectors have long been used.
