Hundreds of Islamic worshippers pelted police with rocks following Friday prayer services on Har HaBayis on Friday 19 Tishrei 5773. Police used riot-control adjuncts to disperse the attackers. There were no reports of arrests or injuries.
Police remain on high alert in Yerushalayim over Sukkos, with a focus on the Old City, especially this year in light of the fact that Defense Minister Ehud Barak decided not to impose of closure on PA (Palestinian Authority) residents during the yomtov week.

another powerful islamic prayer service
one of wo things to stop these type behavior.
1) shot to kill all those that riot and partake in these type of actions
2) throw all Arabs out of Israel
I am not saying that either of these is waht Israel wants to do but what Israel needs to do. This will only get worse as time goes on.
Please correct spelling of “worshippers” to worshipers.
