JERUSALEM ON EDGE AFTER POLICE OFFICERS MURDERED AT TEMPLE MOUNT:

 There was bolstered security in and around Jerusalem's Old City mere hours after two Border Police officers were shot dead by Muslim terrorists following prayers atop the Temple Mount on Friday 14 July 2017. Recently Jordan, which administers the Temple Mount, complained about Israel installing metal detectors at the entrances to the holy site. So, Israel removed them. And that allowed three terrorists from the northern Israel town of Umm al-Fahm to attend the Friday Islamic prayers armed with guns, which they used to murder the Israeli policemen as they departed the time of worship. Israeli responded by closing the Temple Mount completely for the first time since 1969, reinstalling the metal detectors and arresting three Islamic Trust (Waqf) officials who are believed to have facilitated the assault. Israel reopened the Temple Mount to Muslim worshipers on Sunday afternoon, 16 July 2017 following a fierce outcry from the Islamic world. Ignoring almost completely the unprovoked attack on the policemen, Muslim leaders from Israel and from across the Arab world accused the Jewish state of moving the region closer to religious conflict. Muslims claim that Israel will use such incidents to "Judaize" the Temple Mount. (Israel Today) Please intercede that mounting tensions in the Old City of Jerusalem will be dispelled and that new security measures for the safety of all will be respected and complied with. Pray against terrorist attacks in and around Jerusalem.
