JERUSALEM – With the Jerusalem police deploying thousands of officers to block off a group planning to bring thousands of Jews, including several Knesset members, to ascend the Temple Mount in spite of restrictions, and Palestinian groups threatening violence, WorldNetDaily Sunday will bring its readers regular, exclusive updates from the Mount area.

More than 3,500 officers have set up shop around the Old City, the walled portion of Jerusalem that houses the Temple Mount, the Al Aqsa Moqsue and the ancient quarters from the Temple Period.

Police hope to halt a plan by Revava, a Jewish organization with the stated mission of "restoring self-esteem to the state of Israel by restoring national pride and values," to bring 10,000 Jews to the heavily restricted Temple Mount Sunday to spark Israeli dialogue about reclaiming the holy site from its Islamic custodians.

The Islamic Movement, a group Israel accuses of recruiting suicide bombers for Hamas, has already brought several hundred members to the Al Aqsa mosque today to "protect it" from Jews, and Hamas threatened earlier to renew terror attacks if Jews step foot on the Mount Sunday.
