The Council went on to condemn the actions of the Israeli security forces, calling on Israel to abide by its legal obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention. Resolution 672 also authorised a mission to be sent to the region to investigate the incident, reporting back by the end of October 1990.

Israel rejected the resolution, saying it disregarded attacks on Jewish worshippers at the Western Wall.<ref>{{cite book|last=Cuéllar, Javier Pérez de|author-link=Javier Pérez de Cuéllar|title=Pilgrimage for peace: a Secretary-General's memoir|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|year=1997|page=[https://archive.org/details/pilgrimageforpea00pere/page/96 96]|isbn=978-0-312-16486-7|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/pilgrimageforpea00pere/page/96}}</ref>
