NPR's Eric Weiner reports that there was renewed fighting between Palestinians and Israelis today after Israeli troops stormed the Muslims' holy Temple Mount during Friday prayers, in an incident that left three Palestinians dead and dozens of others wounded. Despite this outbreak of violence, there were signs that both the Palestinians and the Israelis were seeking to avoid the sort of bloody confrontations that had raged for the last two days. Both sides seemed to be trying to step back from the brink of outright war, and to get back to peaceful negotiations about their differences.
