6 Palestinians arrested for waving Hamas flags at Temple Mount

Israeli security forces arrest six Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem suspected of waving Hamas flags during Friday Ramadan prayers at the Temple Mount.

According to police, the suspects — ages 26 to 41 — violated public order when they called for support and solidarity with the Gaza-based terror group.

During overnight raids, security forces seized flags and other materials connected to the incident on the Temple Mount, police say.

The suspects are being questioned by police and will appear later before a court.
