A record number of Jewish pilgrims, 3,527 in total, visited the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Tisha B'Av, marking a 32 percent increase from last year, according to the Temple Mount Administration. The site, revered in Judaism and Islam, has long been a focal point of religious and political tensions, with Jewish prayer traditionally restricted by an unwritten agreement. Recent years have seen a relaxation of enforcement, highlighted today by the participation of a government minister and a member of parliament in public prayers at the site. No arrests of Jewish visitors were reported during the event, though police have not yet commented.
