Temple Mount sealed off

Israel increased security at the Temple Mount ahead of Tisha B’Av. Jerusalem police said Wednesday that a request by the Temple Mount Faithful, an extremist Jewish group, to pray near the Al-Aksa Mosque during the fast day had been turned down. Police also plan to limit Palestinian access to the site Thursday to worshippers older than 45, out of concern that political activists could try to incite riots to protest Israel’s offensives in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
