Five women have been arrested by Israeli police at the Wailing Wall for wearing prayer shawls that Orthodox tradition states should only be worn by men.
The women were all members of the Women of the Wall group that opposes police-enforced segregation of worshippers according to sex at the Jerusalem holy site.
The arrests occurred during a monthly prayer session organised by the group.
"Police detained for questioning five women who prayed with religious garments at the Wall," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

Jewish modernisers have long called on senior rabbis to relax laws in Israel preventing men and women worshipping together at the Wall.
Women are not allowed to pray with men at the Wailing Wall On Wednesday, officials said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was considering a plan to convert an old archaeological dig south of the Wall into an area where men and women would be allowed to mix and worship freely.
