HAMAS AND ISLAMIC JIHAD THREATEN ‘ESCALATION OF THE INTIFADA’ OVER TEMPLE MOUNT:

 Palestinian terrorists groups Hamas and the Islamic Jihad called for an escalation in violence amid new Israeli security measures on the Temple Mount. The two groups said that Israeli-installed metal detectors on the Temple Mount -- home to the Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock -- were a red line and intolerable. The metal detectors were placed outside the Temple Mount's nine gates following a terror attack on Friday 14 July 2017, where three Israeli-Arabs killed two Israeli police officers at the holy site. (Worthy News) Tensions in Jerusalem’s Old City and especially in the Temple Mount area are dangerously close to a major explosion. Palestinians refuse stiff security measures, but when Israel backs down on tight precautions Muslims, Jews and tourists have been left vulnerable to, and victims of, murderous terrorist attacks. Please intercede for the peace of Jerusalem.
