Clash with Islamofascists on Temple Mount prior to Rosh Hashana
More clashes broke out, committed again by the ummah that's now overlording the Jewish site, though this time, the police have again been prepared:
Israeli police raided the plaza outside Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque on Sunday in what they said was a bid to head off Palestinian attempts to disrupt visits by Jews and foreign tourists on the eve of the Jewish New Year.I'm glad they came prepared. But they have to do much more to stop those monsters from committing violence.
The Palestinian youths, Israeli police said in a statement, had intended "to disrupt the routine of visits to the Temple Mount on the eve of Rosh Hashana", the Jewish New Year, which begins at sunset on Sunday.
Police used tear gas and threw stun grenades towards the Palestinian youths, who barricaded themselves inside the mosque and hurled rocks and flares, a Reuters witness said.
"A police force ... surprised the barricaded youngsters and entered the Temple Mount area" so that the visits could get under way, the statement added.
Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan praised the Israeli Security Forces actions and restoration of order to the Temple Mount.
