The officials were quoted saying that, sooner or later, there would be “no choice but to storm” the mosque. At the same time, they acknowledged that this is precisely what the Palestinian protesters hope will happen, since the sight of armed Israeli security personnel forcing their way into the third holiest site in Islam could prompt a surge in anti-Israeli protests throughout the Arab world. OK, so don't give them pics of that.
Instead, have a small quad-rotor UAV go up to the mosque's window, and spray some intolerably foul-smelling substance inside.
