Jewish pilgrims have clashed with Christian worshippers at a prominent Catholic place of worship in Israel.
Clashes took place on Wednesday evening at Stella Maris in Hafia. It is said to be the burial place of Prophet Elisha, the successor of Prophet Elijah, making it a popular site of pilgrimage.
It is understood clashes with Catholic worshippers were triggered when several dozen pilgrims, most of them belonging to the Breslov Hasidic movement, arrived at the church.
It is not clear how the clashes began specifically but they ended without serious injury. Israeli police, however, did briefly block surrounding roads.
