Riots in the Al Aqsa Mosque, April 5, 2023 (Israel Police Spokesperson)
Dozens of young Palestinians barricaded themselves in the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem tonight (Wednesday) and refused to evacuate, after staying there after the agreed hours for prayer and staying there.
This, against the background of the calls of the Hamas movement earlier today to arrive at the place during the night in order to protect the mosque in preparation for the attempts of the Temple Mount activists to sacrifice victims in the compound on the eve of Passover.
The worshipers locked themselves inside the mosque, put obstacles in the doorways, shot fireworks and threw sticks and stones.
The police forces entered the compound by force and worked to evict them, while throwing stones at them and setting off fireworks inside the building.
The police arrested dozens of people on suspicion of riots, throwing stones and desecrating the mosque.

In recent days, the issue has caused significant controversy between the parties, the parties, with the desire of the Muslims who immigrate to the place to observe the mitzvah of Ataqaf seclusion, seclusion and prayer in the mosque throughout the night.
Already in the first days of the month of Ramadan, clashes occurred around the Israeli demand to enforce the status quo and remove the worshipers who remained on the mountain after the permitted hours.
Most of those who remain on the mountain during these hours are usually young, and the terrorist organizations find in the mitzvot of ``At'qaf fuel to incite and encourage riots.
