On Thursday afternoon, during a Jewish pilgrimage to the Temple Mount, dozens of Arabs began to riot near the Gate of Mercy or Golden Gate
The Arabs tried to reach the group of Jews shouting "Allahu Akbar". The police began to forcefully push the group of Jews out of the Temple Mount. According to the group, "the police used violence to get the Jews out quickly." The Returning to the Mount Movement said, "The time has come to apply real sovereignty over the Temple Mount and to immediately expel Israel's enemies from its territory, and apply full Jewish sovereignty to it immediately."
