On Wednesday, Palestinian rioters holed up in the mosque and threw Molotov cocktails at security personnel. One of the improvised explosives landed on the carpet, causing a small fire that was extinguished immediately.

Police arrested seven residents of east Jerusalem on suspicion of involvement in the Molotov cocktail assault. On Thursday, the suspects were due to attend a remand hearing.

Meanwhile, Arab social media users continued to spread false stories about events on the Temple Mount.

Meanwhile, Jews continue to visit the Temple Mount under heavy security. Police moved the path to the Temple Mount, with approval from Temple Mount rabbis, in an attempt to skirt the Palestinian rioters.

The site will be open to Jewish visitors until 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
