Police arrested three suspects on Sunday evening after surveillance cameras at the Little Western Wall (Kotel HaKatan) in Jerusalem's Old City captured an assault. The suspects were detained and taken for questioning, police said.
This is the second such incident at the site in recent days. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, three minors from East Jerusalem were arrested in a separate attack on youths praying at the Small Kotel. In that case, their detention was extended until June 24.
The Little Western Wall, a smaller section of the Western Wall complex, has been the site of occasional friction between Jewish worshippers and local residents. Sunday's arrests suggest police are maintaining a visible presence at the location.
