Israel allows 600 worshipers on Temple Mount under new security measures
Israel has permitted some 600 Muslim worshipers on the Temple Mount throughout the day under the new security measures enacted in the wake of Friday’s deadly terror attack, according to Channel 2 news.
While that comparatively small number of worshipers actually entered the site, others stayed outside in protest of new metal detectors set up at the entrances.
