JERUSALEM — The Temple Mount in Jerusalem was closed to visitors after a fight broke out between Jewish visitors and Muslim worshippers.

The Jews visiting the site Sunday morning reportedly began singing Chanukah songs and praying. In response, a group of Muslim worshipers attacked them, Israeli media reported.

Two Jews and two Muslims were arrested in the incident.

Jews generally are not permitted to pray or bring any ritual objects to the Temple Mount, which is considered Judaism’s holiest site, in order to avoid confrontation with Muslim worshipers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s third-holiest site. The site is overseen by the Muslim Waqf, the Muslim religious administration charged with managing the Temple Mount site.

The Temple Mount was closed to non-Muslim visitors during this year’s Sukkot holiday over fears that Muslims would be incited to violence by the crowds.

Days later, on Oct. 14, the Temple Mount was shut down to visitors after police removed 10 Jewish men for praying and singing. The men were detained after praying and bowing on the Temple Mount, then singing Hatikvah, the Israeli national anthem, waving an Israeli flag and dancing.

About an hour before the incident, police detained three other Jewish men for questioning after they prayed and bowed during a tour of the Temple Mount.
