[Ynet] Massive security planned for Friday after string of terror attacks wounding seven in Tel Aviv, Afula, Jerusalem, and Kiryat Arba.
| Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat urged residents licensed to carry weapons to carry them, as violence spiked in the city over the past few weeks. |
IDF's Judea and Samaria Division has been preparing unprecedented security for Friday out of concern that noon prayers will result in rioting of thousands of Paleostinians in the West Bank. Thousands of troops will be placed along roads and flashpoints, while IDF officers and Paleostinian security apparatuses coordinate their response.
Paleostinians have designated Friday a "Day of Rage" amid ongoing violence. Just on Thursday, seven Israelis were maimed by attacks, while police clashed with Paleostinian protesters, resulting in injuries on both sides. |
