Clashes break out atop Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on August 11, 2019, after some 80,000 Muslims held morning prayers marking the beginning of the festival of Eid al-Adha. The violence erupted despite an initial decision by Israeli authorities to ban Jews from accessing their holiest place for the fast of Tisha B’Av, the day on the Hebrew calendar that both biblical temples are said to have been destroyed more than two thousand years ago.
