Islamic leaders have been fueling the situation since last Friday’s fatal terror attack on Har Habayis. Amid this, there are calls that all PA (Palestinian Authority) residents head to Har Habayis on Friday for prayers instead of visiting their local mosque.
Jerusalem police are reportedly taking unprecedented steps to prepare for possible Islamic violence on Har Habayis on Friday. Ynet reports that in addition, the IDF has placed five battalions on alert should they be needed. They would be responding to violence in areas of Yehuda and Shomron, which may in in sync with activities on Har Habayis.
The Jerusalem Waqf is also calling on Israeli Arabs to head to Jerusalem, and many are reportedly heading to the capital before Friday in the event Israel Police prevent buses from arriving on Friday.
Police are on alert status and may take preemptive measures to prevent violence on Har Habayis on Friday.
