Police detain three Arabs over illicit work on Temple Mount
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS
Jerusalem police on Wednesday detained two Arab Israeli members of the Islamic Movement for carrying out unauthorized construction work on the Temple Mount, police said.
The two men were taken in for questioning after trying to carry out "surfacing work" in an unauthorized area of the holy site for the second straight day, Jerusalem Police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.
A third Arab Israeli suspect was detained for trying to create a disturbance at the site.
According to decades-old regulations in place at the Temple Mount, Israel maintains overall security control at the site, while the Wakf, or the Islamic Trust, is charged with day- to-day administration of the ancient compound.
