On Friday, thirteen Jewish youths were arrested for allegedly breaking into the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to conduct a sacrificial ritual for the Shavuot holiday. According to police from the Jerusalem District's David Sub-District, the youths charged through a gate, overcoming police barricades and officers stationed there. They were pursued and apprehended by soldiers before being detained for questioning. The group intended to offer loaves of bread, in accordance with the biblical commandment from Leviticus 23:17, which specifies bringing two loaves as a wave offering during Shavuot. This incident marks the third such event in two months, following a similar attempt on May 1 when 21 people were arrested for trying to smuggle a goat for a Passover sacrifice. The Temple Mount has been a flashpoint for tensions, as public Jewish prayer and rituals like sacrifices have been prohibited since the 1967 Status Quo laws were enacted to prevent disturbances. Furthermore, Halacha and the Rabbinate restrict access to the Temple Mount due to the uncertain location of the Temple's Holy of Holies, accessible only to the High Priest once a year on Yom Kippur.
