Several hundred Jews allowed to ascend Temple Mt, on Tisha Be’Av

DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. August 1, 2017, 12:17 PM (IDT)

Jewish visitors to Temple Mount lined up for hours at the Moghrabi Gate to wait for processing by metal detectors and security checks before ascending the holy site. They also had to agree to refrain from prayers during their visit. 

Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
