[IsraelTimes] Police launch search for suspects after family lightly maimed; two others hurt in separate stone-throwing incidents, amid festivities between Paleostinians and security forces.Four people, including an infant, were maimed on Sunday evening, after rocks hurled by Paleostinians hit vehicles near Jerusalem’s flashpoint Damascus Gate. A fifth person was hurt by rocks in East Jerusalem.
Police said officers were operating near Damascus Gate to disperse Paleostinians who were clashing with forces, including a group throwing rocks at passing vehicles.
Amid the rioting, a car belonging to an Israeli family driving through the area was struck with rocks. The father, mother, and their one-year-old son were lightly maimed, according to the United Hatzalah ambulance service. They were evacuated to the Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital after receiving immediate medical attention at the scene.
In a separate incident near Damascus Gate, a 33-year-old man was who hit by rocks was transported to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in stable, pH balanced condition. United Hatzalah said the man suffered from glass shrapnel wounds in his head after a stone hit his car as he drove through the area.
Police said they had launched a search to locate the suspects.
Jerusalem’s Damascus Gate frequently sees violent mostly peaceful festivities between security forces and Paleostinians. It has also been the site of numerous stabbing and shooting attacks in recent years.
Also Sunday evening, a Paleostinian who hurled rocks at vehicles in East Jerusalem’s At-Tur neighborhood was arrested by police. Police said at least one passerby was lightly maimed after the suspect attacked his vehicle with rocks. The suspect was caught as he was throwing rocks, a spokesperson for the police said.
Earlier on Sunday, Paleostinian worshipers clashed with police on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. Police entered the site and used sponge-tipped bullets and crowd dispersal methods to clear the area. Israel Police said that some Paleostinians threw rocks.
Jordan, Egypt, Turkey all condemn Jewish visits to Temple Mount on Tisha B’Av
Also the EU, the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and probably a partrige in a pear tree. But apparently Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Abraham Accorders have kept silent, showing once again that we live in the age of miracles. [IsraelTimes] Under the 1994 peace treaty with Jordan, Israel recognized Amman as the custodian of the Temple Mount and other Moslem holy sites in the Old City. Israel captured those sites from Jordan during the 1967 Six Day War.
Anxious to reduce friction with the Moslem world, and given that Orthodox sages generally counsel against ascending the Temple Mount for fear of treading on the sacred ground where the Temple’s Holy of Holies stood, Israel since 1967 has allowed the Jordanian Waqf to maintain religious authority atop the mount.
Jews have been allowed to visit under numerous restrictions, but not to pray.
But a report on Saturday said Israel has quietly started allowing Jewish prayers on the Mount in recent months, and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett asserted Sunday that both Jews and Moslems have "freedom of worship" at the site, potentially hinting at a change in policy.
