Palestinians Renew Riots on Temple Mount on Friday


(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Early on Friday, hundreds of violent rioters began mass riots on the Temple Mount that included stone throwing and setting off fireworks. Despite the riots, police did not respond in order to enable worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque to complete the prayer. The rioters then began hurling rocks in the direction of the Western Wall, where Jewish prayers were also taking place.
