During the morning ascent of Jews to the Temple Mount in honor of the Sukkot holiday, the Jews encountered several Muslim rioters who incited and threatened to harm Jews. The Israel Police removed them from the group of Jews and arrested three of the rioters. In addition, several Jews were expelled after bowing down.
In an announcement by the Israel Police, it was stated: "This morning, the police arrested three suspects who called out nationalistic incitement against Jews who had completed their visit to the Temple Mount. Meanwhile, visitors who violated the visitation rules were expelled from the area. The police clarify that anyone who incites, provokes, or violates the visitation rules at the site will be dealt with accordingly."
As part of the visits that took place today, as usual on the Temple Mount, the police operated in accordance with the established visitation rules intended to maintain public order, public peace, and security. This morning, near the Gate of Shalshelet, a group of rioters clashed with visitors who had completed their visit to the Temple Mount while inciting nationalistic provocation. After they did not heed the instructions of the police officers present, they were pushed back, and the police arrested three suspects on the spot who had engaged in the same provocation.
