The National Security Agency (Shin Bet) revealed Monday morning it has arrested 11 Hamas officials who have led an effort to take over the Temple Mount from the Jordanian Wakf. Ten of those arrested possess cards identifying themselves as Israeli citizens.
"Their goal is to gain full control over the Temple Mount," a security official stated, adding that the Hamas terrorist party has built a bathroom and expanded its library and prayer rooms at the Temple Mount. Hamas, funded by Syria, Iran and other Arab nations, has invested millions of dollars in the site, where it conducted tours and preached Hamas ideology.
