June 19, 2017 -- News From Israel


Dome of the Al-Aqsa Mosque
I found two other Palestinian news agencies that carried the story from yesterday reporting that Israeli police and officers entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque and arrested a number of Palestinians.  However, the account has not appeared on any Israeli news sites that I can find.  This raises some questions.  Was the action too embarrassing to report?  Is Israel being cautious?  Did the raid not happen?  As the Latins would say, tempus omnia revelat – time reveals all things!

Update on ISIS from Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA).   After ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack last Friday near the Damascus Gate, it appears some Israeli officials dismissed the claim.  However, Michael S. Smith II, who is an American terrorist analyst, and Rukmini Callimachi from the New York Times, both argue that ISIS and its threats against Israel should be taken more seriously.   Yisrael Katz, who is Israel’s Intelligence Minister, says that though Israel has no evidence linking the attack on Friday with any organization, Israel does take the threat from ISIS seriously.  See link below:
