Did that Western Wall ceremony violate social distancing rules?

TEMPLE MOUNT WATCH: U.S. Ambassador to Israel Prays at Western Wall in Violation of Coronavirus Guidelines. The prayer in which Ambassador David Friedman took part in included more than ten people. U.S. Embassy says he followed guidelines (Noa Landau and Josh Breiner, Haaretz premium).

The resolution in the photo for the first story I linked to was poor. It was hard to count the number present. But the photo in this article clearly shows more than ten people. If this article's account of the rules is accurate, they are not following the social distancing rules for public prayer. But I don't know how much the Israeli government is enforcing these rules in general.
