Police to restrict entry to Temple Mount over fear of violent protests
16.04.2009
Jerusalem Police on Wednesday announced they will limit the number of worshippers entering the Temple Mount for Muslim prayers on Thursday due to fears of disturbances, Army Radio reported.
Hundreds of police and Border Patrol officers will be deployed to East Jerusalem to prevent violence, and entry to the Temple Mount will be restricted to men over age 50 holding Israeli ID cards and women.
Police said they received intelligence warnings about thousands of Palestinians being called to protest at the site. They claim Jewish worshippers, encouraged by the Israeli government, planned to go up on the mount.
The Islamic Movement's northern branch has arranged dozens of buses to bring Muslims protesters to the area.
