Police shut down Temple Mount after Molotov cocktail hurled at cops
The Israeli Police close the Temple Mount and remove all those in the area after a firebomb was thrown at a police post in the holy site.
A police officer sustained light injuries in the attack after inhaling smoke from the fire caused by the Molotov cocktail. The structure was also damaged, police say.
At least three people have been arrested in connection with the firebomb attack.
“Jerusalem Police Commissioner Doron Yadid visited the Temple Mount and held a situational assessment there. He ordered it evacuated and closed in order to conduct searches for other weapons,” police say.
