Police are gearing up for potential tensions at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City during prayers tomorrow, the Kan public broadcaster reports, following a night of unrest in East Jerusalem.
The report, without citing a source, says there is a concern any incident on the Temple Mount could inflame so-called mixed cities that have significant populations of both Jews and Arabs.
The broadcaster also says security officials believe the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group will try to whip up tensions ahead of prayers tomorrow.
