An Israeli Jewish child reacts after a Palestinian, not pictured, smashed the window of a car with a brick in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Ras al-Amudin, Friday, March 12, 2010. Seeking to head off further unrest, police limited access to the city's holiest site Friday, and Israel's military sealed off the West Bank for 48 hours, preventing Palestinians from entering Israel.
