In the video: The arrest of the suspect who attacked a policeman on the Temple Mount (security cameras)

In the background of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, clashes broke out yesterday (Friday) in which hundreds of worshipers on the Temple Mount threw stones and threw Molotov cocktails at police officers, who in response used means to disperse demonstrations including stun grenades. A senior police official told Walla! Because the police response at the end of the prayer "was correct and professional. Any other response would have led to a serious incident that could have ended in deaths."

"The Temple Mount is the most sensitive place in the world and the police work there responsibly," the source added. Documents taken last night at the scene show many worshipers cursing police officers and even attacking them. In one case, a policeman was seen running alone in derogatory shouts, when suddenly one of the rioters pushed him and knocked him down to the crowds. A few hours later, police arrested suspects in the acts, including the young man who allegedly pushed the policeman, while in possession of Molotov cocktails.

"Those who have made obscene gestures to police officers have been living in fear and escape for two days now," another senior official said.

"We know their identities and now we are doing everything to stop them. Some of them fled to the territories. Like the suspect who pushed the policeman - we will reach everyone and come to terms with them."

The Temple Mount was closed to Jewish visitors 19 days ago, as as every year, in the last days of Ramadan - only Muslims are allowed to enter the compound.

However, unlike previous years, the ban on Jews entering continued even after he testified to Peter due to the security situation.

The police emphasize that it is the responsibility of the political echelon to decide on the opening of the Temple Mount for Jewish visits starting tomorrow, and it is not yet clear whether it will take place.

Meanwhile, the chairman of Torah Judaism, MK Moshe Gafni, this evening informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that his party opposes Jews going up the Temple Mount.

"Because of our sins the Temple was destroyed and there is a charge of Crete ascent to the Temple Mount. We pray all the time 'and keep our eyes peeled on your return to mark mercy', the non-ascent to the mountain is the deepest proof of our belonging to this holy place

"I ask you to keep the Temple Mount closed to Jews."
