More Unrest on Temple Mount at Mercy Gate

19 Palestinians arrested in fresh Temple Mount clashes

THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: Police say dozens of worshipers tried to breach a closed off area of the holy site that has been at the center of recent tensions; several Palestinians reported injured Palestinian worshipers clashed with Israeli police on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on Tuesday, trying to force their way into an area of the flash-point holy compound that has been closed for years. Police said 19 Palestinians were arrested.  The incident follows a similar confrontation on Monday in which Palestinians tried to break the gate that Israel placed on the closed area last week after the Muslim Waqf religious council broke into the area and held prayers there.
