| [Ynet] Soldiers prevent stabbing attack; Temple Mount access limited as authorities prepare for violence on Jewish holy day. Thousands of police forces were deployed to high-tension areas Tuesday morning and troops were placed on high alert in preparation for Yom Kippur as Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon ordered the complete closure of the West Bank and Gazoo to begin at noon until midnight Wednesday. Tuesday morning a woman attempted to stab a IDF soldier at a checkpoint in Hebron. The female was shot in the leg and seriously maimed before being evacuated by the Red Islamic Thingy to a nearby medical facility. The soldier was unharmed. After a situation assessment, police decided to restrict entrance to the Temple Mount on Tuesday to Paleostinians over the age of 40 in an effort to decrease the likelihood of violence and protect the thousands of Jews expected to pray at the Western Wall for Yom Kippur. Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact... volunteers of the Israeli Civil Guard, in coordination with police, will provide armed security at local Synagogues throughout the country. As on every Yom Kippur, roadblocks were erected to prevent vehicular traffic from East Jerusalem into the west, to prevent the likelihood of confrontation. |
