Police on Tuesday night 6 Iyar 5774 arrested a man and a woman taking part in a Har Habayis march sponsored by the “Returning to the Mount” organization. They are charged with assaulting police. Two others were detained and released according to police.

Police report the march was illegal and viewed as “provocative” as the marchers tried to take over the holy site. Police add participants shouted anti Muslim epithets including “Mohammed is dead” and “death to Arabs”.

Police moved in and pushed the marchers away from Har Habayis back down to the Kosel area.
