Jews waiting at Shar HaRachamim to enter Har Habayis on Tuesday morning, February 19, 2019, were met with Arabs who shouted insults at them.

This followed Islamic violence on the holy site on Monday, resulting in Hay Habayis being shut to all non-Muslims.

YWN NOTES: Gedolei Yisrael over the generations and the Chief Rabbinate of Israel prohibit visiting Har Habayis, which they explain carries the punishment of karess.
