Jerusalem police on Sunday arrested 26 Jewish extremists protesting at a holy site on Mount Zion outside the Old City, which will be visited by Pope Francis, a spokesman said.
The arrests took place just hours before Francis' arrival in Jerusalem.
"Demonstrators at King David's Tomb threw stones and bottles at the security forces, lightly injuring two police," spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said, referring to a site revered as holy by Christians, Jews and Muslims where the pope will hold a mass on Monday.
