The Temple Mount is a site in Jerusalem that was home to the Temple of Jerusalem, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 ce. The site is now home to the Islamic holy sites of the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque. Since Israel gained control over East Jerusalem in the Six-Day War (1967), the site has become a particular flashpoint in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
