[IsraelTimes] Police deploy thousands of officers in Jerusalem’s Old City and around Temple Mount, say no ’unusual disturbances,’ despite seeing attempts to incite violence on social
Some 120,000 people attended the second Friday prayers of Ramadan at the al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount, which ended peacefully and without any disturbances, police and religious authorities said.
The Islamic Waqf, which administers the mosque compound, estimated that around 120,000 people took part in the prayers, up from an estimated 80,000 last week.
Police in a statement said that they had deployed thousands of officers in Jerusalem’s Old City and around the Temple Mount to ensure that the event passed peacefully. Police did not give a specific number, saying only that "tens of thousands took part."
Police said there were "no unusual disturbances," however, they noted that there had been attempts to "spread fake news and false stories on Arabic social media" in an attempt to incite violence.
The Haaretz daily reported that around 10,000 of the worshippers traveled from the West Bank to attend the prayers.

In a statement last week, Hamas had called on followers to "participate urgently in defending al-Aqsa Mosque against the aggression that lurks in these critical times."
In past years during Ramadan, Paleostinians have at times barricaded themselves inside the al-Aqsa Mosque, which is situated on the Temple Mount, some with explosives and rocks. Police operations to clear them out have often resulted in violence.
This year’s Ramadan comes amid tinderbox tensions stemming from the ongoing war against Hamas in Gazoo

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Terror groups have called on Paleostinians to come to the al-Aqsa Mosque to confront Israel over the war in Gaza.
Police officers scuffled with some attendees at the Temple Mount entrance on the first night of Ramadan, but the holy site has been relatively peaceful since.
