A RIOT THAT WAS PLANNED

This riot at the al-Aqsa mosque was clearly planned from the start:

Jerusalem police clashed Sunday morning with a group of Arab youths, some of them masked, who barricaded themselves overnight inside the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount.

The youths collected stones, wooden boards and planks, and fireworks to make firebombs in preparations for a riot with Israel Police as well as to disrupt those visiting the Temple Mount for Tisha B'Av, the fast marking the Temple's destruction.

They used shoe racks, steel bars, and ropes to block doors to the Al Aqsa Mosque from being closed - also in preparation for a violent confrontation with police officers.

As Police and Border Patrol forces, under the command of Jerusalem District Commander Moshe Edri, entered the Temple Mount compound, masked rioters fled into mosque, from where they threw dozens of rocks and cements blocks at the police.

They also shot fireworks and sprayed the security forces with an unidentified fluid, lightly injuring four of the policeman.

Despite the escalating violence, police managed to prevent further injuries by closing the doors of the mosque, with the rioters trapped inside, and restoring quiet to the Temple Mount, allowing visitors to enter.

They should've been kept trapped inside. Just a whole lot of monsters who don't deserve citizenship in this country.
