Israel: Security Measures Needed at Temple Mount to Prevent Future Attacks
(AP) Ian Deitch - Israel Police Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the new security measures at the Temple Mount have been instituted "to ensure and prevent further incidents or attacks" and would continue. Jerusalem Police Commissioner Yoram Halevy told Army Radio, "I assume that with time they [the Muslims] will understand that this is not terrible." He said that security measures of this kind are commonplace in the world. "When I go shopping on Friday I pass through a detector at the mall," Halevy said. "We see them everywhere, they have become a part of our lives."
