Muslim women from the 'Murabitun' group, barred from the Tempkle Mount, shout slogans and hold the Koran

Masked Muslim terrorists turned their third holiest site into a war zone again on Sunday, hours before the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, and hurled firecrackers and rocks at police.

No one was injured in the battle.

Police uses stun grenades to disperse the rioters, according to Arab media.

Jews were barred from ascending the Temple Mount because today is the last day of the Muslim feast Eid al-Adha.

Muslims, including members of the group that supposedly are barred from entering the Temple Mount, reportedly barricaded themselves in the Al Aqsa mosque overnight, armed with whatever they throw at Jews visiting the holy site the eve of the Sukkot holiday.

Instead, the rioters had to make do by attacking police.

The rest of the week should be interesting. With the Muslim feast over and the Sukkot holiday in full swing, police will have a hard time forbidding Jews from visiting the Temple Mount. However, restrictions on Jews will probably restrict them to less than 10 at a time, just in case a group decides to form a “minyan” and offend Muslims by praying.
