2 Jews attempt to enter Temple Mount dressed as Muslims
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice stop two Jewish men from entering the Temple Mount compound dressed as Muslim worshipers.
The two, both aged 21, approach one of the gates to the holy site wearing the garb of religious Muslims. They raise the suspicions of officers standing nearby, who approach and asked them to identify themselves.
Despite their claims that they are Muslim Palestinians, police soon manage to identify them as Israeli Jews.
It is not immediately clear why the two felt the need to disguise themselves. Police are not saying if they belong to Jewish activist groups barred from the site.
They are taken for questioning by police.
