Several dozen hareidi Jews, including children, ascended the Temple Mount Wednesday. In the course of the tour of the Mount, Muslims began hurling objects at the hareidim, spat at them, hurled shoes and sticks and pulled the sidelocks of one of the children. The raging Muslim mob terrified some of the children, who began to panic. At one point one of the Jewish men seeks to reassure the frightened children. "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! This is our place!" he said, referring to the Mount, the holiest site in Judaism.
