Israeli police said they arrested 21 people suspected of attempting to bring a sacrificial goat to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem's Old City on Friday, Times of Israel reported.
The incident marked the second such incident in two months involving efforts to carry out a ritual sacrifice at the site, where such practices are prohibited.
The report said the group that took a goat to the mount on Friday was attempting to perform the sacrifice in honour of Pesach Sheni, or Second Passover.
Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir has advocated changes to restrictions on prayer there.
