A police spokesman said officers used stun grenades to disperse dozens of rioters, who threw rocks and firecrackers at them at the site revered by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and by Jews as the Temple Mount, in Jerusalem's walled Old City.

Two officers were slightly injured and treated at the scene in the brief clash, the spokesman added. Five Palestinians were also slightly hurt, a Muslim clergyman said.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the plaza near the al Aqsa mosque had remained open to visitors during the clash, which was confined to a small area. Police did not enter the mosque, he said.

Tonight and tomorrow is the Seventh Day of Pesach, the anniversary of the splitting and crossing of the Red Sea. This is probably why Jews were trying to pray on Har HaBayit at this time.

Why the [redacted] doesn’t Bibi just BAN THE DAMN MUSLIMS???

Because Bibi is a secular politician and the State of Israel founded in '48 is a secular, western, Hellenistic, parliamentary democratic state and not the true Jewish government as mandated by the Torah. While the Zionist ingathering of Jews to the Holy Land may very well be the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, the founding of the current secular state is not.

Unfortunately, since the true Halakhic Jewish State of prophecy doesn't fit chrstian assumptions chrstians don't see this and cling to the secular state as though it were the very government of Heaven on earth.
