RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON JEWS IN OLD CITY
Restrictions Placed on Jews in Old City (NYSun)
"With the onset of Ramadan (Moslem holy month) celebrations, the police have instructed Jews living on a main Old City thoroughfare not to traverse it between 8 and 10 PM in the coming weeks," Arutz 7 reports.
The Jews living in the Moslem Quarter of the Old City -- 800 in number -- were informed by the Jerusalem Police that they must not leave their homes without prior coordination during the evening hours. This, because of the expected large number of Moslem celebrants -- including many hostile ones -- returning from the Temple Mount at that time each night ...The Jerusalem Police Department informed Arutz-7's Shimon Cohen that the roads will simply be divided in a way that will enable separate ambulatory traffic routes for Jews and Arabs. Asked if there will be roads that are open only to Jews, the police spokesman said no.
