I merited being one of the record setting numbers on Har Habayit yesterday...
According to the numbers published by the police (thank Eli Duker for pointing me to them):
From 2011-2013 Har Habayit was closed on Tisha B'Av
2014- 80 Jews (HH was closed in the afternoon)
2015- around 300
2016 - 400
2017- 1263
this was very likely the most Jews on Har Habayit in one day since the destruction of the Second Temple nearly 2000 years ago
