The indictment for the three, Majed Kriki, 21, Mohammed Bikri, 20, and Mahmoud Jaber, 18, of east Jerusalem, was actually filed late Friday.
The three had planned to enter the Temple Mount on October 29 and to stay over night in anticipation of Feiglin and Glick visiting the area on the morning of October 30, said the indictment.
According to the indictment, their plan was to attack them with firecrackers and stones to injure them, burn them and intimidate them.
After the attack, they intended to sprint into the Al Aqsa Mosque and mix in with those praying there, the indictment alleged.
They planned on escaping in the melee of all of the worshipers, noted the indictment, exiting when morning prayers concluded.
The indictment stated that the plot was foiled when Kriki was arrested.
Al three were indicted for conspiracy to injure a person using weapons and with nationalistic motivations.
