Three Jewish males were removed from Har Habayis and detained by police on Monday morning, 19 Tammuz, after seating themselves on the ground and refusing to comply with police instructions to get up.
Police explained they were interfering with persons passing, instructing them not to sit on the ground.
The three refused to comply with police.
It should be noted that Gedolei Yisrael throughout the generations along with the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, have prohibited visiting Har Habayis as there is an Issur Kares.
