The anarchists also started a fire on the holy site.
Israeli police arrested and removed over 350 young, masked Palestinian men who barricaded themselves overnight Tuesday/Wednesday inside the al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount, hurling rocks at security forces and even starting a fire.
The Temple Mount is Judaism’s holiest site and Islam’s third-holiest.
Despite claiming that the site is holy to Muslims only and that Jews have no right to ascend the Mount, the rioters desecrated the mosque.
