My Way News - Israel closes Jerusalem holy site after shooting
My Way News reports: "Israel closed all access to Jerusalem's most sensitive religious site
on Thursday, a rare move that ratcheted up already heightened tensions
following the attempted assassination of a prominent Jewish religious
activist and the killing of his suspected Palestinian assailant by
police.
The Palestinians accused Israel of a 'declaration of war,' deepening a
crisis fueled by failed peace efforts, continued Israeli settlement
construction and months of simmering violence in the holy city. While
Israel said it would reopen the site on Friday, the increasingly
religious nature of the unrest risked igniting further violence."
Comment: Does it seem like the Temple Mount has been in the news a lot lately? I can't help but think that this flashpoint is an important barometer of the end times and any activity there is worth keeping an eye on.
