Palestinians keep Muslim worshipers out of Temple Mount over last unopened gate
A crowd of Palestinians is preventing Muslim worshipers from entering the Al-Aqsa compound atop the Temple Mount, saying Israel has still not restored conditions at the site to what they were before the July 14 terror attack that left two Israeli police officers dead.
While Israel has dismantled all metal detectors, metal railings and cameras installed after the attack, and reopened four gates closed during the 13 days since the attack, one gate, the Huta Gate north of the Temple Mount, remains closed.
That’s the gate at which the cops were killed in the attack.
