Violence in Jerusalem

Unfortunately the violence has spread to Jerusalem. Heavy police and military presence in and outside the Old City. The Jewish feast of Sukkot is not over yet - there's still Simchat Torah next week. We'll have to be careful about going out now. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1222017571010&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

Meanwhile the world famous IDF (Israel Defense Force) needs to re-evaluate itself now that an IDF post was infiltrated and a soldier attacked. It's well known that IDF morale has been on a low but this event is compromising on security. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1222017566808&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
