Hizbullah, Hizbullah, in the heart of al-Quds
Channel 7

Ravi, a resident of a neighborhood in al-Quds [Jerusalem] spoke to the seventh channel about the worrying phenomenon occurring once every few weeks without any objection: crowded rallies Arabs waving with PLO and Hizbullah flags .Ravi had documented from the balcony of his home a rally that took place in the days of the Fast of Gedaliah (the third of the Hebrew month of Tishri). Crowds can be heard chanting "Hizbullah, Hizbullah."

This event has been documented in Street Hagai, the main road leading to the Western Wall and the desired area of tourists, and according to his words every few weeks such a march takes place. "They are demanding the elimination of "Israel". It is not difficult to understand the appeals "Strike Strike Tel Aviv" they say. As if it is in Iran or Gaza, and all this is happening a few meters from the Western Wall," Ravi said.

He also added that sometimes it is possible to identify the cops in such marches, but at other times they are present in the surroundings, but not invisible.
In this regard, Ravi recalled how a group of young people wanted to protest a month and a half ago against the desecration of the Temple Mount (the Temple Mount), carrying a banner (Temple Mount is in our hands) but were prevented from doing so."
With regards to the last rally he documented on his camera, Ravi declared that a security officer in the old town ordered them to stay at home. In a former incident, a friend of him was walking in the alley not knowing he's heading towards such a rally, but some old Arabs warned him to run away, and saved his life.

Ravi argued that there's no media coverage for these events, only Arab media outlets are considering their news, "nobody is interested in this" he said. He also spoke of hostile attacks against Jews in the alleys of the old town, and that is becoming a daily routine. "In such cases, it is better not to react, because if it turned into a bigger quarrel, they will call for others who will join them in big numbers, so it's better not to react," he ended.

Fighting in Syria slips to "Israel": Mortar shells fell in the Golan
Walla!News

Some mortar shells exploded this morning (Tuesday) in "Israel", near the border with Syria. The Golan Heights explosions were heard, and inspection showed that a fire attack occurred during clashes taking place between the rebel forces and the Syrian army on the Syrian side, a few miles from the border.

One of the mortar shells was detected in the Druze village Boka'ata in the northern Golan Heights, and more plantations near Kibbutz Do - Rom. No injuries or damage were reported. Army forces searched the area. Residents of Boka'ata told Walla News that around 7:00 a.m. they heard loud explosions but did not know that the mortars exploded inside "Israel". "We are right in front of the village G'ubata al-Khashab, and occasionally fierce fighting take place. Recently, the fighting between the Syrian army and the rebels resumed and we heard explosions, crashes and shooting. This morning we heard very loud explosions. We did not know these mortars landed in "Israel"," the resident said.

The "Israeli" Army said in response: "In the morning several mortar shells were fired at the Golan Heights. There were no casualties or damage. The fire set to villages on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights was a part of the internal Syrian conflict. "Israeli" army forces filed a breach to the UN forces active at the Golan Heights border and noted that it won't allow any Syrian firing at "Israel".

In addition, civil security officials have been given the instruction. Army forces are in high alert and they will resume their operations to protect the borders of "Israel" and the security of its citizens. "
This is the first occasion in which an exchange of fire between the two sides in the civil war in Syria pours into "Israel", but in the past battles took place near the border. Such an incident occurred during a visit by "Defense" Minister Ehud Barak to the border two months ago. The minister came to observe a military post on the border in the Golan Heights, following the attack which took place in Damascus, and during his visit there were sounds of gunfire and shelling, and smoke rising from the direction of the Syrian border.
