Israeli police said: “Fifteen Jews were removed from the Temple Mount for not observing the prohibitions of the government on demonstrative Jewish activity at the mount.”
Ten people were removed for “prostrating themselves at the site”, three for singing the liturgical lamentations.
The remaining two were detained for shouting out a prayer and for disobeying police instructions, respectively.
The Temple Mount is venerated as a holy site in Judaism, Islam and Christianity.
Although the Israeli High Court has upheld Jews’ right to pray there, the police force prohibits it for fear of inter-communal tension.
