Temple Mount

Holy site on top of Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, on which the Temple of Jerusalem stood. The Muslim shrine, the Dome of the Rock, and the al-Aqsa mosque are now situated here, though the Wailing Wall remains part of the wall enclosing the compound.

The September 2000 visit to Temple Mount by the right-wing Israeli Likud party leader, Ariel Sharon, sparked a violent reaction by Palestinians that precipitated a second Intifada (Palestinian uprising).
