According to an Israel Radio report, a Jewish male was taken into custody on Thursday, 12 Tammuz 5773 on Har Habayis after he “taunted Muslim women” and got into a scuffle with a waqf official.
Police also detained two waqf officials who were involved in the altercation with the Jewish male in custody as they were compelled to intervene towards restoring order. The report states that the situation was getting out of hand, stating the Jewish man provoked the entire incident.

if this is true, lock him up and throw away the key. These types of incidents can provoke bloodshed and rioting. He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible
It sounds like “disturbing the peace” under any legal system. Any chance he was insane or intoxicated? That is a location where police are expected to prevent anyone from acting too weird,
Those Arab “ladies” are by all accounts always looking to antagonize and threaten Jews who visit Har Habayit.
But I guess the Jew is always guilty so why not now….
