Security restrictions will be felt beginning Monday night, when all private vehicles except for those of residents will be blocked from entering the Old City.
Volunteer police patrols will secure synagogues in Jerusalem neighborhoods over the Yom Kippur holiday, which ends Wednesday evening, police say.
Checkpoints will also be set up around Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem.
