Dozens of Muslim Palestinians flocked to the Har Habayis early Sunday at the site of the al-Aqsa Mosque, in response to calls to prevent Jewish worshipers from reaching the site on Tisha B’Av.
Clashes erupted between Palestinians and the Israel Police, which responded with riot control means.
The Palestine Red Crescent reported a number of injuries, with the majority treated in the field.
Israel’s Channel 12 reported that unofficial prayers have been taking place every morning for months, with footage showing Jewish worshipers gathered without siddurim or Tefillin, or any other religious symbol that might attract attention in the compound that houses the al-Aqsa Mosque.
According to this source, the Waqf, which administers the site’s Muslim holy sites, is aware of the situation and is monitoring them from a distance, but has so far taken no action.
After Israeli police cleared the site of protesters, Jewish worshippers began to ascend to the Har Habayis for Tisha B’Av tefillos. According to Arab media, 240 Jews ascended to the Har Habayis with hundreds more expected throughout the day.

In other words, 240 Yidden don’t know, or forgot, how we are supposed to behave during Galus…
