MIDDLE EAST : Israeli forces on high alert as thousands attend Friday prayer

Israel deploys hundreds of security forces in the Old City a day after shooting in Tel Aviv killed two Israelis.

Thousands of Palestinian worshippers attended the first Friday prayer of Ramadan in al-Aqsa Mosque as Israeli forces were put on high alert in Jerusalem.

The Islamic trust, or Waqf, which administers the affairs of the mosque, said 80,000 people attended the prayer service, with visitors coming from the occupied West Bank and the Palestinian community within Israel.

Hundreds of thousands of worshippers often attend Friday prayers in al-Aqsa during Ramadan. The low turnout this week comes after restrictions placed by Israeli authorities on worshippers travelling to Jerusalem, amid security concerns.

Earlier this week, the Israeli army said only men over the age of 50 and women of all ages can visit Jerusalem from the West Bank. Additionally, troops have blocked off informal entry points across the fences separating the West Bank and Jerusalem.

Ahead of the Friday prayer, hundreds of Israeli security forces were deployed in the Old City, erecting roadblocks and checking residents' IDs.

The increased presence of officers in the city comes a day after a Palestinian killed two Israelis in a shooting in Tel Aviv. The latest attack brought the Israeli death toll from recent violence to 13 people, who have been killed in four separate incidents since 22 March. All five Palestinian assailants were subsequently killed.

The spike in violence coincides with warnings that tensions may escalate next week as Israeli settlers and far-right activists announced plans to storm al-Aqsa Mosque during the Jewish Passover holidays, to perform religious rituals inside the site.

Last Ramadan, Israel temporarily erected barricades in Damascus Gate that restricted Palestinians from gathering in the area, which sparked widespread protests and subsequent Israeli crackdowns. Violence spiked later in the month when Israel tried to expel Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood and attacked worshippers at al-Aqsa Mosque. This prompted widespread demonstrations across the occupied West Bank and the Palestinian community inside Israel, and led to an 11-day war between Israel and armed groups in Gaza.

Israel's large-scale military operation on the besieged Strip killed 256 Palestinians, according to the UN. In Israel, 13 people were killed by rockets launched from Gaza.

Jerusalem: a Cup of trembling( Zechariah 12:2-3)

Israel is God's prophectic timepiece with Jerusalem as the minute hand and the temple mount as the small hand!

Do not be surprised to see the nations of the world in an uproar over Jerusalem!

The Prophets of the Bible have previsioned such a state of affairs.
This same city from which came forth the Torah, and in which the Messiah was crucified and rose in resurrection, and his disciples brought that word to the world, is mentioned countless times in the Scriptures as sacred to God, both in the past, present, and future.

Jerusalem is never once mentioned in the Quran, written many centuries after the life of JESUS Christ , and millennia after Moses. Jerusalem is called the city and capital of David the Jew, going back to the 10th Century BC, and remains at the center of the Biblical accounts throughout, right to the final book of Revelation.

A major warps Biblical proportion in the Middle East is inevitably coming anyday now! Israel, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and Iran have all been preparing for such a war for decades, and when it finally arrives the death and destruction it will cause will stun the entire planet!

Over the next few days/weeks, the eyes of the world will be on Jerusalem, and one false move would spark a major war!

From what i can see, its all going to erupt, 'Operations guardian of the walls 2'!! With tensions on the Temple Mount as Ramadan and Passover converge in April, i can see the war of Biblical propotions just around the corner.

The Israeli government is in complete chaos just in time for the Antichrist to come on the scene to bring about peace...fake peace from the war of Biblical propotions that is just around the corner!!!! Just look at the timing of it all!

Keep your Oil burning! The Rapture will Happen at anymoment.. JESUS Christ is at the Door.

Who wrote the bible? Would you have expected the Jews/Israelites to say they are son of devil or place other tribes above themselves?

Na so so conquered the land we dey read for Bible when God no be real estate agent

You religious people really to have critical thinking about this religion of a thing

U cough, they smoke u off....
