Hundreds of Jews visit Temple Mount after Palestinian riots in al-Aqsa
Jews begin entering Temple Mount • Jordan warns of 'catastrophic consequences' if police remove Palestinians from mosque again

At least 842 Jewish worshipers made the pilgrimage to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Sunday morning, the first day of Passover's hol hamoed and on the day of the Birkat Kohanim ("priestly blessings") at the Western Wall, the Temple Mount Administration said.

This represents a 43% rise in the number of worshipers who visited the Temple Mount during Passover compared to last year, the administration noted, thanking National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israel Police Chief Kobi Shabtai for their "dedication as part of attempts to permit the entry of Jewish worshipers to the site."

Jews began entering the site at 9:00 a.m. after Palestinians barricaded themselves in the al-Aqsa mosque on Saturday night, with concerns that clashes would break out if police removed them from the site.
