The 1990 Temple Mount riots or the Al Aqsa Massacre, also known as Black Monday, was an event that took place in Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem at 10:30 am on Monday, 8 October 1990 before Zuhr prayer during the third year of the First Intifada. They began after a decision by the Temple Mount Faithful to lay a cornerstone at the site. The riots resulted in the death of 17-23 and the injury of more than 150 Palestinians.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Resolution 672/673 )〕 It was condemned by two UN Security Council resolutions. ==Background== Tensions around the Temple Mount began much earlier than the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It has great religious significance for both Judaism and Islam. In Judaism, the temple mount is the site of the first and second temples, the first built by King Solomon and the second by Jews returning from Babylonian exile, both extensively written of in the Old Testament. The Koran does not mention either the Temple Mount, nor Jerusalem, but Mohammed is believed to have stopped over on one of his flights to Makkah, the Muslim holy site towards which all devout Muslims pray.〔Al-Aqsa Mosque〕 For almost two thousand years Jews have yearned to return to the Temple Mount, though their ancient temples were destroyed and they were exiled from the area. Today the Temple Mount remains the holiest site in Judaism, and all over the world Jews always pray towards the Temple Mount. After the Islamic conquest of Jerusalem, a mosque was built on the site of the ruins of the Temple. In Islam, the "Noble Sanctuary" as it is called, too has religious importance and is considered a symbol for Muslims all around the world where it was the first "kiblah" for Muslims before Makkah and the presence of the "Dome of the Rock" there which Prophet Muhammad's "Isra'a and Mi'araj" took place. Jews were not able to return to the Western Wall or the Temple Mount until they regained sovereignty of this area in the 1967 Six-Day War. Since then, Israel has allowed control of the Temple Mount to remain with the Islamic waqf in order to preserve the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Under the law, there is to be freedom of access and religion, but all religious prayer except Muslim is banned. In this instance, there was tension between Palestinian worshipers and a religious extremist group known as the Temple Mount Faithful, who proposed to rebuild Solomon's Temple where the Al-Aqsa mosque now stands. According to ''The New York Times'', the Haaretz, as well as Palestinian Human Rights Groups, the Israeli supreme court had earlier barred the Temple Mount Faithful group, as well as all non-Muslims, from marching to the temple due to five attempts by the group to enter the al-Aqsa mosque in September.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Al Aqsa Report )〕 According to Anthony Lewis, a year earlier, the Temple Mount Faithful had planned a demonstration in front of the mosque and Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem warned of a ''catastrophe''〔 if the event occurred. According to the Israeli "Report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Events on Temple Mount on 8 October 1990":
