At the same time and despite the death of The boy, the attention of East Jerusalem Arabs was and still is on what is happening on the Temple Mount, where, according to reports, Palestinians gathered for prayer, about 45,000 worshipers.
The prayer was held without any unusual incidents, except for a few localized frictions in the Old City and the Nablus Gate between young Arabs and police forces. However, it seems that the peace The situation in the Temple Mount area has been maintained for the time being.

The policy of "zero tolerance" led by the Jerusalem District Police was felt in full force with the outbreak of the war in the violations of order that broke out in the outskirts of Jerusalem and in the neighborhoods beyond the fence.
With the increase in the number of injured and killed in these riots, there are those who believe that this led to a relative calm already in the weeks that followed, last night's events were a reminder that this policy is still alive and well.
Despite this, it is worth remembering that these were recorded in the outskirts of Jerusalem and join the ongoing activities of the IDF forces in Judea and Samaria, who have been operating with intensity since the outbreak of the war with a series of counterattacks and non-stop exchanges of fire.
Now, the expectation is that these will not flow into Jerusalem and the beating heart of the Arabs of Israel and Judea and Samaria - the Temple Mount And the Nablus Gate, which has been kept quiet since the beginning of the month of Ramadan. Even a holiday atmosphere is felt in the gate square with a layout of commercial stalls offering their wares to passers-by, without friction between young Arabs and the police forces stationed there.
