In the video: the prayer of the women of the Western Wall at the same time as the ascent to the Temple Mount (Yenon Shalom Yathach)
The Jerusalem police arrested two Jewish youths on suspicion of setting fire to the prayer books of the "Women of the Wall" last Thursday.
This is after earlier that day the women held a prayer in the Western Wall plaza, as per Rosh Chodesh.
The two were brought in for questioning, at the end of which they were released under restrictive conditions.
This is not the first time that the prayer arrangements of the women of the Western Wall have been corrupted.
In July 2016, a worshiper was recorded tearing up the arrangement in front of the women's aid, during the Rosh Chodesh prayer and the Bat Mitzvah ceremony.
"Shocked and amazed".

"Three days ago, after a festive Rosh Chodesh prayer that symbolizes freedom and liberty, our arrangements were burned again."

"We are shocked and amazed by the helplessness of the security at the Western Wall, which does not even try to deal with the violence against us, and call on the decision makers to wake up before it is too late," they added.
"We strengthen the hands of the Israel Police to investigate and bring to justice those who burn the siddurim and the perpetrators of hate crimes. Because in the place where books are burned..."
