Hours after former MK was arrested on patrol on Temple Mount, police arrived at his home • Glick documented the raid on Twitter, writing: "They came with a search warrant and turned us into the house"

Hours after the founder of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation and former Knesset Member Yehuda Glick was arrested on the Temple Mount plaza with US congressmen, police raided his home at midnight with a search warrant, and police began to make the children's rooms. "Cops at home at midnight after a full day of riots," Glick tweeted, posting photos of police rummaging in the bathroom and poking at his home cabinets.

Documentation: Yehuda Glick was arrested on the Temple Mount

Police said this morning that after the tour ended with members of Congress, Glick entered the mountain area without coordination with the police and began to walk around the Temple Mount contrary to the rules of visitation that he knew from his previous visits. "He refused to obey the police instructions and accompany them while continuing to provoke them, forcing them to delay him."

"After continuing to provoke the cops, they had to inform him he was under arrest. At this point, too, he continued to do something that forced the cops to handcuff him. He was released from shackles on the mountain and escorted by police for questioning," they added. Police have also noted in the past few months that almost every visit by Glick was accompanied by a provocation that often led to the avoidance of more visitors joining his group.

Right-wing candidate Sarah Beck responded to his arrest, saying: "The situation where under Israeli sovereignty Jews cannot move freely on the Temple Mount without police supervision over their steps is delusional and absurd. The policy of persecuting and narrowing the steps of Jews alone is a direct encouragement to extremist Muslim parties. It is better for the State of Israel to take the steps of inciting and violent elements rather than of peaceful Jews who seek to fulfill their commandments. "

In response to his arrest, Tom Nissani, chairman of the Students for the Temple Mount movement, said: "The arrest of a former Israeli MK in handcuffs and more immediately after a tour with US congressmen illustrates our great disgrace on the Temple Mount - the mountain is not in our hands. This will continue and we will continue to struggle until we receive our rights to the mountain, "he added.

"The Temple Mount Heritage Foundation" responded to the arrest: "Former MK Yehuda Glick, founder of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, was handcuffed as the last offenders and only because he dared to go too slowly," police say on the Temple Mount. For a long time, the Israeli police, under the auspices of the Ministry of Public Security of Minister Arden, continue to narrow the steps of the immigrants to the Jewish Temple Mount. This situation cannot continue and we urge the decision makers to come back immediately. "

Glick is best known for his fight against restricting Jews from entering the Temple Mount and is working to increase the number of visitors to the mountain and to the right of prayer. In October 2014, Glick was shot by a Palestinian, a resident of Abu Tor, when he left the annual Temple Mount activists at the Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem, and was rushed to the hospital in serious condition.
