Arabs on Sunday morning hurled rocks at Israel Police and visitors to Har HaBayis. Police moved in quickly and arrested a number of the assailants. They did not close the Har HaBayis, but permitted the site to remain open to visitors.

Usually, Arabs throw rocks towards compelling police to close the area to all non-Muslim visitors, a reality that best suits their agenda of maintaining control of the holy site.
