Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said police decided to allow unrestricted Muslim prayer at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for the Eid al-Adha celebrations and to bar all others from entering.
The site, known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, has been a flashpoint for violence in recent days.
Palestinians accuse Israel of restricting some access to the mosque while Jewish worshippers visited the site.
Tensions boiled over last week on the eve of the Jewish new year when Palestinians barricaded themselves inside the mosque and threw rocks and firecrackers at police. An Israeli man was also died in Jerusalem after Palestinians pelted his car with rocks.
this is a joke they always bar Jews from davening on har habayis.if you do they arrest you.
All with their tuchuses up towards the kodesh hakodashim. Yeah… The spot is real holy to Islam… Nekom Le’eneinu nikmas dam avadecha hashafuch.
Dont be upset guys, we will get it back when משיח comes.
the Zionists won the battle but lost the war.
Does anyone else find it interesting that within a day of Yom Kippur, they celebrate Akaydas Yitzchak????? I really don’t know much about their religion, yet, maybe there is hope?
They are all bowing towards Mecca.
Their rear ends are facing the Temple Mount.
The headline should read: Israel bars all Jews from Temple Mount on Yom Kippur. Nice.
