10,000 rightists plan to visit Temple Mt.
Right-wing extremists have announced a campaign under which they are seeking to bring some 10,000 people to the Temple Mount on the eve of the Hebrew month of Nissan. The police have no intention of allowing the plans to be put into practice.
Police usually allow Jews to visit the Temple Mount in groups of a few dozen individuals, with Jewish prayer sessions banned at the site, in keeping with a government decision from 1967. The High Court of Justice has rejected numerous petitions against this decision.

Also, the Jerusalem Post has a short article on the planned protest which refers to "tens of thousands" of people rather than 10,000. But it appears that the Arutz Sheva headline " Channel 2 Claims 100,000 Jews Plan Temple Mount Protest" is a mistake, since the article refers to only 10,000. It looks to me as though 10,000 is the number that is actually being used.
