The mount is open to Jews only for short visits of several hundred meters. Today, when Jews observe the Tisha B'Av fast, also coincides with the Muslim "Festival of the Sacrifice," and thousands of Muslims arrived at the Temple Mount for the occasion. Earlier this morning, riots erupted on the Temple Mount. 4 policemen were injured and required medical treatment. 2. MURDERED STUDENT'S RABBI: HE WAS A GENTLE, SWEET BOY by Arutz Sheva Staff Rabbi Avraham Stav, who taught Dvir Sorek at the Mahaneyim Yeshiva, described his former student in an interview with Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) Sunday. "Even after two days from the beginning of the year, I sent a message to Yoav Sorek, 'Listen, I must tell you that I am very fond of your son,'" Rabbi Stav said. "So he writes to me in response, 'you mean Dvir?' That's no shock. He's so sweet it's impossible not to be.' And he is right, no doubt. Dvir really was an extraordinary boy. Anyone who entered the Beit Midrash would be enamored by him. "He would sit in class. He wouldn't talk much. He always looked very sharp and alert. He wouldn't ask a lot of questions, but then at the end of the class he would come and ask so gently, with some shyness, such questions as to make it clear to you that he understood the lesson maybe better than everyone else, maybe even better than [the teacher]," Rabbi Stav said. Rabbi Stav described the last lesson he gave to Dvir before his murder Wednesday night. "On Sunday, it was the last class of the year at the yeshiva, he came up quietly after his class to say thank you for all the classes that were at the yeshiva. This is something not many students think about, this idea of ​​coming and showing appreciation, of giving the rabbi the feeling he was something meaningful to you." 3.

The Jew sustained light to moderate injuries to his hand. An MDA team called to the scene gave him medical treatment. It should be noted that high security tension has been felt since night and morning in the area of ​​the Temple Mount and the Old City, on the occasion of Tisha B'Av and the Muslim “Festival of the Sacrifice.” Hundreds of Muslim worshipers rioted on the Temple Mount Sunday morning in an attempt to prevent Jews from visiting the holy site on the anniversary of the destruction of the first and second Holy Temple. The rioters chanted nationalist slogans and clashed with police. Several rioters were injured, Arab media reported. Police said, "Following nationalist calls and disturbances in the area of ​​the Temple Mount, police forces under the command of the district commander, who were on the scene, began to disperse order violators in order to restore public order." 5.
