On Thursday, July 27, 2017, the Jerusalem Mufti,
Mohammed Hussein, announced that the situation on the Temple Mount had been
restored to the “Status Quo” after the Israeli government halted the
installation of smart cameras. The new cameras
were being installed in place of the metal detectors that had been placed at
entrances to the Temple Mount after the two Israeli-Druse police officers were
killed near the mount by assassins. The
assassins had smuggled weapons unto the mount and into Al-Aqsa Mosque before
the attack. They were later themselves
killed on the mount by Israeli police.
The Mufti
stated, “the situation has returned to normal and we will pray at Al-Aqsa,” and
that, “we are satisfied that Israel removed all of the inspection measures at
the Temple Mount’s entrance.”
It is unclear that anything has
been done to restore the holy site to purity.
