Three
Israeli Arabs were charged on Monday for reportedly planning an attack on
the Temple Mount and at other locations such as synagogues and churches. Two of the Israeli Arabs also are suspected
of supporting the Islamic State. All
three are residents from the city Umm al-Fahm, which is about 20 miles south
east of Haifa.
According to HAARETZ,
“the would-be shooting spree recalls a shooting attack that actually did come
to fruition on the Temple Mount last July in which two Israeli policemen were
killed. In response, Israeli security forces placed metal detectors at the
entrance to the Temple Mount, a decision that was met with heavy protest by
Palestinian residents of the city as well as by Arab countries. After repeated
clashes ensued between Palestinian protesters and Israeli security forces over
the move, Israel reconsidered its decision and removed the metal detectors.”
This picture captured my attention because of the domes in the background, the blue sky, and the white foreground which happened to include the woman in white walking on the mount. |
