Police evacuate scores of Jewish activists barricading in King David’s Tomb

A violent confrontation broke out Monday morning on Mt. Zion in Jerusalem's Old City when a group of Jews tried to prevent some 100 Greek Orthodox worshipers from praying in the complex housing the tomb of King David.

Access to the compound, whose upper floor houses the traditional site of the Last Supper, has been a source of friction in the past.

The Greek Orthodox group was celebrating the holiday of Pentecost.
