Palestinians Barricade Themselves inside Al-Aqsa Mosque prior to Passover Holiday
(Times of Israel-JNS) Ash Obel - On Tuesday night, dozens of masked Palestinian youths barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem after Ramadan prayers, together with fireworks, clubs and rocks, prior to Jewish visits to the area on Wednesday, Passover Eve. "If armed rioters barricaded themselves in the Vatican or the Great Mosque of Mecca, we'd expect the police to similarly restore peace," said Aviva Klompas, a former official at the Israeli Mission to the UN.
