Last Friday, a group of three Arab-Israelis from Umm al-Fahm
entered the city of Old Jerusalem through the Lion’s Gate. They had made their way onto the Temple Mount. Shots were exchanged between them and the
Israeli police. In the exchange of gun
fire, two Druze Israeli police were killed along with the three Arab-Israelis. The Temple Mount was shut down, but was later
reopened to worshipers and visitors on Sunday after investigations and the
installation of metal detectors.
Omar al-Kiswani, who is the director of the Al-Aksa Mosque, protested the added security measures.
