According to the Police, hundreds of young people – many of whom maskers – collected stones that planned to use with iron bars and improvised roadblocks to rise and try to block non-Muslims to tour the area. According to the Red Crescent, 17 Palestinians were treated for injuries amid clashes with police at the scene Sunday morning, five of whom were taken to hospital. Jewish media outlets reported that at least nine Palestinians were arrested Sunday morning. Police said police were working to evacuate Palestinians to allow the visits. “Along with the visits, the freedom of worship will continue to be fully preserved for the faithful on Mount Temple,” a police statement said. “Israeli police will continue to act against lawbreakers and rioters.” Get the Times of Israel Daily E-mail and never miss our top stories By registering, you agree to the terms Jewish visitors were later seen touring the site.

Non-Muslims can only visit the Temple Mount for a few hours and it is forbidden to pray at the site, which is the holiest in Judaism and the third holiest in Islam. Easter this year intersects with the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, which usually observes increased tensions around the Old Town, where the Temple Mount flashpoint is housed. Sunday is also Easter, with Christian pilgrims expected in the Old Town. This year, the contribution of the holidays has been considered for months as a possible ignition for an outbreak of violence. Also Sunday, police said stones were thrown at buses just outside the Old Town, breaking windows and slightly injuring several passengers. Magen David Adom ambulance service said five people were injured in the incident and taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in the city with minor injuries. Police said two suspects had been arrested and that police were searching the area for others.

(AP Photo / Mahmoud Illean) On Friday, hundreds of Palestinians were arrested in clashes with police on Temple Mount. The Palestinian Red Crescent said 158 people were injured – most of them probably due to tear gas. Footage showed chaos at the scene, with rain of stones and fireworks being fired at heavily armed police. Determined to clear the mosque of stacked stones, police decided to break into the building, resulting in dozens of arrests and scenes identical to those unfolding almost a year ago. Six hours later, police said they had cleared the area of rioters. Tranquility was restored and the afternoon prayers were able to continue without incident, with about 50,000 devout Muslims in attendance. The location is the emotional focus of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and tensions there could easily lead to wider fires. Hamas and other Gaza-based terrorist groups have repeatedly referred to the holy site of the flashpoint as a red line. Police actions to suppress the riots there last year helped firing the 11-day war in Gaza in May. In addition to holiday friction, Israeli troops have been carrying out extensive raids in the West Bank following Israel’s deadliest terror outbreak in years.
