TEMPLE MT PERSPECTIVES III -

*Police kept the rightists well away from the Western Wall, a Jewish prayer site abutting the elevated shrine of two ancient mosques, to avoid any possible clash with Muslims praying there...

The Jerusalem compound, housing the 1,300-year-old al-Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques, is Islam’s third holiest site.

The site is the most sacred for Jews, treasured as the spot where biblical King Solomon built a temple and where a second temple was razed by the Romans in 70 A.D.*
