Muslims Attack Jewish Visitors to Temple Mount on Tisha B'Av
(Israel Hayom-i24News) Efrat Forsher - The Jewish fast day of Tisha B'Av coincides this year with the beginning of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. The Jewish fast day marks the commemoration of the destruction of the temples located at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, of which the Western Wall is the only remnant. Tens of thousands of Muslims flocked to the Temple Mount on Sunday after rumors circulated that police would allow Jewish visitors to enter the site. Palestinians threw stones at police, who responded with crowd control measures. When a group of Jewish visitors entered the site under close police escort, Muslims began throwing chairs and other objects at them.
