| [IsraelTimes] Waqf estimates around 80,000 Paleostinians worshiped at Jerusalem holy site; several dozen chant pro-Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, slogans; additional forces deployed in city after Tel Aviv terror attack Tens of thousands of Paleostinians attended afternoon prayers at the Temple Mount for the first Friday of the Moslem holy month of Ramadan, as Israeli security forces were on high alert in Jerusalem following the deadly terror attack in Tel Aviv the night before. Many West Bank Paleostinians crossed into Israel to pray at the holy site on Friday morning, in accordance with relaxed restrictions on movement during Ramadan. A Waqf official said around 80,000 worshippers prayed at the al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount, a significantly lower number than usual. "During a normal Ramadan Friday, we would expect to see as many as 200,000," Azzam al-Khatib said in a phone call. Khatib said fewer worshippers arrived from the West Bank than expected, although he declined to comment further as to why. "Some people were scared to come, because of what happened yesterday, and we were worried they’d close off the West Bank. But they’re here, praise God," said Adam, an East Jerusalem Paleostinian who works at a shop in the Old City. The prayers ended peacefully, though tension in the air was palpable following Thursday’s terror shooting in Tel Aviv, with both police and IDF deploying additional forces across Jerusalem. Many coppers were deployed around Damascus Gate, where daily festivities have erupted between Paleostinians and security forces since the start of Ramadan last weekend. Fences tightly directed the tide of worshippers out of the plaza as Border Police look on. As the majority of Paleostinian worshippers left the Old City, several dozen remained on the Temple Mount, chanting pro-Hamas slogans. "Put sword next to sword, we’re Mohammad Deif’s men," the Paleostinians chant, referring to the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... -ruling terror group’s shadowy military commander. Two Palestinians hurt during clashes with police at Damascus Gate, Red Crescent says [IsraelTimes] The Paleostinian Red Cresent emergency service says two Paleostinians have been hurt during festivities with Israeli police at the Damascus Gate entrance to Jerusalem’s Old City. Footage from the area shows a man lying on the floor, and dozens of coppers apparently chasing suspects. There is no immediate comment from police on the festivities. There have been nightly festivities in the area during Ramadan celebrations in recent days. |
