DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. July 22, 2017, 9:35 PM (IDT)
Scores of Palestinians hurled rocks and bottles at police at the Lion’s Gate entrance to Temple Mount Saturday night, where eight days ago, three terrorists gunned down two Israeli police officers. Outbreaks of this kind were repeated on a smaller scale by protesters against the metal detectors in the Jerusalem neighborhoods of Issawiyeh, A-Tur, Shuafat, Mount of Olives, Ras el-Amud and the road to Maaleh Adummim. Police broke up the mobs with water cannon, tear gas and outside Temple Mount mounted on horses. An IDF officer was injured by a rocket thrown by Palestinian rioters at Kfar Qaddum in Samaria.
In the Israeli towns of Nazareth and Qalansweh, local Arabs echoed the Palestinian protesters and vowed to continue “the struggle without pause.”
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
