The Jerusalem Police have completed their preparations for the third Friday of Ramadan, which began today (Friday), with the aim of ensuring the safety and security of the residents and the many worshippers who will arrive in the Old City and at the Temple Mount.
The police reported that about 3,000 police officers, Border Police fighters, and additional forces are operating in the city under the command of the district commander, having been deployed at key points including crossings in the Jerusalem envelope, alleys of the Old City, and the eastern part of the city.
Preventing Attempts by Hostile Elements to Incite and Disturb the Peace
In recent days, the central unit of the district, together with the Shin Bet, arrested 11 young people who threw stones in the Issawiya neighborhood. Following the arrests, serious charges were filed in the Jerusalem District Prosecutor’s Office.
The police effort includes regulating traffic and maintaining public order, with an emphasis on preventing attempts by hostile elements to exploit the festive atmosphere for incitement and disturbances.
