Iran Strikes at Israel on Four Fronts

Terror attacks, Temple Mount riots, and rocket fire share a common source.

Last week has hardly been a peaceful one for Israel. On Tuesday, a group of Palestinians barricaded themselves in al-Aqsa mosque with a stockpile of weapons, disrupting Ramadan prayers and clashing with police. On Friday, a terrorist murdered two sisters, ages fifteen and twenty, and seriously wounded their mother. An Italian tourist was also killed in a separate attack the same day. In addition, rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria over the course of the week, and riots broke out in several places. Jerusalem responded Saturday and Sunday with multiple airstrikes on Syrian territory, some targeting Syrian miliary installations. Unusually, the IDF—which normally neither confirms nor denies such attacks—claimed responsibility in an official statement to the press.
