Clashes continue at Temple Mount
Police forces entered the Temple Mount this morning following an attempt by Arabs to disrupt public order and prevent Jewish visits to the site, which is the holiest in Judaism.And all this is proving nothing short of truly awful. Stone throwing is one of the worst forms of terrorism that can take place here, just short of explosives and firearms.
Police noticed that hundreds of young Arabs, some of them masked, began collecting stones in the plaza of the Temple Mount.
Forces were deployed throughout the Temple Mount to keep the peace and allow Jews to visit the site.
At the same time, Egged buses were pelted with stones near the Lions' Gate, on their way to the Western Wall. There were no injuries. Police and Border Police arrested two Arabs on suspicion of throwing stones and police forces are conducting searches to locate more suspects.
Update: here's more on the attacks that took place.
