Cops arrest 9 Jewish men for trying to smuggle sacrificial goat onto Temple Mount
Police arrested nine Jewish men who tried to smuggle a sacrificial goat onto the Temple Mount in Jerusalem Monday afternoon.
The group of young men were filmed in the Old City heading to one of the entrances to the Temple Mount compound with a baby goat concealed in a Rami Levy supermarket shopping bag.
Scuffles with police guarding the entrance broke out as the group tried to force its way into the compound.
One of the young men chanted the Shema prayer as police scrambled to block their entry, but some were able to slip by the officers, including the suspect with the goat.
Once inside the compound, the man carrying the kid fell to the ground in prostration, having cast the pink shopping bag aside.
He stood back up and then moments later was wrestled back by Waqf officials while he held the animal under one arm.
Others in the group were unable to make it through and began to brawl with a religious Muslim man outside the gate. One of the Jewish men shouted, "Who are you?" at the older man as a cop placed himself between the two.
