Remand of minor arrested over Temple Mount firebomb extended
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe remand of a minor arrested over the throwing of a firebomb at police on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City is extended until Sunday, according to the Kan public broadcaster.
The broadcaster reports that a second minor suspected of direct involvement in hurling the Molotov cocktail will be brought before the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court later today for a hearing on extending his remand as well.
Police closed the Temple Mount yesterday following the incident, drawing condemnations from Palestinians and threatening to escalate recent tensions surrounding the flashpoint holy site.
The Temple Mount, which houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque, was reopened to worshipers this morning.
