(The Tower) Israel's decision to install metal detectors at the entrance to the Temple Mount following a deadly terror attack there was based on "pure security," Knesset member Yaakov Perry (Yesh Atid), a former head of the Israel Security Agency, said Thursday. While searching the Temple Mount area after the lethal assault, authorities say they found a stockpile of weapons, including a submachine gun. Perry described the Palestinians' accusation that Israel is attempting to change the status quo as "an outrage....It's in the interest of everybody - Islam, Judaism, governments, people, Jews and Palestinians - to try to protect these holy places better than they were protected before the act of terror." He observed that the Saudi government installed metal and explosives detectors at the Holy Mosque in Mecca in 2011. In the aftermath of the terrorist attack, when weapons "were smuggled or stolen or hidden on the Temple Mount, it's a must to tighten the security belts and I hope that even the Palestinians...will understand this as well." 2017-07-21 00:00:00Full Article
