Jerusalem, 26 June, 2016 (TPS) -- Four Muslims were arrested today for causing public disturbance and obstructing policemen at Temple Mount. The arrests took place shorty after the Temple Mount was opened for non-Muslims. The Muslim youths, some of whom were wearing masks, were yelling and taunting the Israeli visitors who continued to remain on the Temple Mount despite the disturbances.

Jerusalem police said that they would act against any attempt to disturb the peace, in order to protect the freedom to worship and security for all communities in the capital.
