Seven Jews were removed from the Temple Mount on Wednesday by police forces. A police statement said they had violated the rules imposed upon religious Jews at the compound.

In total, 37 Jews have been arrested on the Temple Mount or removed from the compound during the four intermediate days of Passover.

The police have cleared for publication that Fyodor Beijanri, a 26-year-old resident of Haifa, has been arrested for a wide array of alleged violent crimes, including murdering and raping four women in recent years. He is also suspected of  many cases of arson.

Over 40 days after he was arrested, Beijanri’s identity and photo have been published in hope that members of the public will step forward with additional information that could help the police investigation. Most of the investigation details remain under gag order.

The crimes all took place from 2013 onward, with the latest murder occurring this year. Beijanri has confessed one murder to a police informant.

Attorney Lior Ronen who represents Beijanri, said: “The suspect denies the suspicions attributed to him. He has been under arrest for over 40 days and has yet to learn all of the suspicions. The suspect also made claims about the police’s treatment of him, and these things will be raised in court.”

During the raid in Sa’ir, the IDF Givati Brigade and police forces confiscated weapons, including a hunting rifle and bullets hidden in an eyeglass case.  

Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to investigate a possible case of incitement at a Palestinian school in the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood, located in southeastern Jerusalem.
