Muslim youths engaged Israel police for a second consecutive day on Har Habayis Monday morning 21 Sivan. Police were attacked with rocks including very large rocks and attackers then holed up inside the mosque. No injuries were reported.

Har Habayis violence has become a regular event as Muslim attack police and non-Muslim visitors at will. Often the violence remains in the realm of verbal agitation against Jewish visitors to the point police close the holy site to non-Muslim visitors, in essence granting the Muslim provocateurs a victory.

Police report in these latest attacks, clearly the youths tried to push police to close down the area to all visitors but this was not done.

Gedolei Yisrael over the generations and the Chief Rabbinate of Israel prohibit visiting Har Habayis.
