Several Jewish students from Tzfat were arrested on Tuesday afternoon after exiting the Temple Mount. A large group of Jews began dancing outside the gates of the Mount, and enraged Arabs began to push them. The police came and disbanded the Jewish group, but two Jewish youths pushed backed, and then were shouted at by police, who tried to detain them.

The two Jewish youths were chased down by police, who arrested them and took them to the police station near the Western Wall.
