Police deployment in Jerusalem out of concerns for riots in the Old City reached its peak Monday afternoon amid tensions on the backdrop of the rededication of the Hurva Synagogue in the Jewish Quarter.
More than 3,000 police and Border Guard officers are deployed in Jerusalem, mainly near the Temple Mount and in east Jerusalem neighborhoods. "There is no specific alert for riots this evening," said a source in the police. "The police are prepared for any possible scenario. Only 250 Muslim worshippers attended services on the Temple Mount."
