Tourists blocked from Jerusalem holy sites after leaflets call for disturbances

Jerusalem (CNN) -- Israeli authorities temporarily blocked Jews and foreign tourists from entering some of Jerusalem's most visited holy sites Sunday after leaflets called for causing disturbances there, police said.
 
The plaza known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary was temporarily closed after leaflets called on the public to "purify the site from enemies of Israel."
