Clashes resume at Temple Mount after day of violence

Police say three arrested Monday morning, following operation that led to discovery of pipe bombs at the site:

Muslims and Israeli police clashed at Jerusalem’s flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on the Temple Mount for a second straight day on Monday, prompting at least three arrests, police said. “As the police entered the compound masked youths fled inside the mosque and threw stones at the force,” a police statement said. Masked Palestinians attacked also police metal bars before fleeing into the mosque, Army Radio said. Police said they entered the hilltop compound to ensure that Muslim youths massing there did not harass Jews or tourists during the morning visiting hours. The site is sacred to both Jews and Muslims. Security forces on Sunday found pipe bombs on the Temple Mount, in an operation carried out hours before Jews prepared to celebrate the new year. The Shin Bet security service alerted police to the cache, apparently an effort by Palestinians to stock up on bombs, flares and rocks ahead of an organized riot.

Hoarding bombs in a Moqsue. Does that not make it a legitimate military target?
