JERUSALEM (AP) — The latest developments in a wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence (all times local).

10:45 a.m.

Israeli police say that for the first time in the current round of escalating violence, Muslims of all ages will be able to enter Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site to perform Friday prayers.

Since mid-September, police had barred younger Muslim men from the site, which is revered by both Muslims and Jews and is a source of soaring Israeli-Palestinian tensions.

Police have said such bans were imposed to prevent clashes at the Muslim-run shrine. Muslims view age restrictions as part of a perceived Israeli attempt to expand its presence at the site, a claim Israel has repeatedly denied.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says age limits were lifted Friday, following security assessments.

The decision came a day after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an attempt to lower tensions. Kerry is to meet over the weekend with Jordan's King Abdullah II, the custodian of the shrine, and with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Israel's military says a Palestinian stabbed a soldier in the West Bank and was shot by troops.

It says both the soldier and the Palestinian were wounded in Friday's incident and were taken for medical treatment.

It was the latest incident in a round of violence that began in mid-September. Ten Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings. Forty-eight Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, including 27 labeled by Israel as attackers and the rest in clashes.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is holding meetings with the leaders of Israel, Jordan and the Palestinians this week to try to contain the violence and tone down the angry rhetoric between the sides.
