Israel Identifies 30-50 Young Muslims Behind Ongoing Temple Mount Violence
(Times of Israel) The Israel Security Agency has identified a group of some 30-50 Arab youths who are driving the ongoing riots on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Channel 2 TV said Monday. Police Spokeswoman Luba Samri said police had tried to negotiate with the Waqf - the Islamic religious authority - to call for calm, but talks failed. Palestinians threw rocks, firebombs and fireworks at police from within the mosque, Samri said, and the firebombs sparked a fire at the entrance to the holy site.
