Temple Mount Advocate Yehuda Glick Shot in Jerusalem - Scene of Attack

Knesset Deputy Speaker MK Moshe Feiglin was standing withYehudah Glick at the Begin Center, when the assassination attempt happened.

Here is Feiglin’s account of the attack, posted on his Facebook page:

Here is what happened earlier: The Temple Mount movement held a conference tonight at the Begin Center in Jerusalem. I had spoken and left the Begin Center about half an hour before Yehudah was shot. At the end of the event, Yehudah, accompanied by Manhigut Yehudit General Director Shai Malka, walked outside to his car.

There was a motorcyclist with his helmet on standing there.

He turned to Yehuda in a thick Arabic accent and said, “Yehuda, I am angry at you,” and then shot him three times point blank.

The flaccidity of the defense mechanism and Minister for Internal Security Aharonovitz in the face of the Arab violence constantly perpetrated against Jews on the Temple Mount encourages further violence and has brought about this attempted murder. The most important response to this despicable act is to open the Temple Mount to Jews now – tonight. I will be at the Temple Mount tomorrow morning at 7:30. Please join me.

Moriah Halamish, a young woman who attended the Begin Center conference added that the shooter first asked if he was Yehudah Glick, to which Glick replied, yes, at that point he said “I am angry with you”, and then shot him.

Please pray for Yehuda Yehoshua ben Rivka Ita Breindel.

(Jewish justice at its best)

Mu’taz Hijazi, 32, from the Abu Tor neighborhood of Jerusalem has been killed by Jerusalem Police, early Thursday morning, according to a report by Khaled Abu Toameh. Hijazi is a member of the Islamic Jihad terrorist group, and spent 11 years in jail.  The gunfight was connected to the assassination attempt on Temple Mount activist Yehudah Glick Wednesday night.

“Three police Yamam counter terrorist units surrounded a house in the Abu Tor neighborhood of Jerusalem as part of the search for the suspect who shot Yehuda Glick outside the Begin Center last night,” Israel Police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld toldJewishPress.com Thursday morning.

“As soon as they surrounded the house, shots were fired at them from inside the house. The forces returned fire, and shot and killed the suspect,” Rosenfeld explained. “There is heightened security in Jerusalem with an emphasis on the Old City to prevent any incidents from taking place,” the police spokesperson added.

Police are examining the gun, to see if it was the weapon used to shoot Yehuda Glick.

The Begin Center, where Yehuda Glick was shot last night, is located right next to Abu Tor, a mixed Arab-Jewish neighborhood.

Glick is in serious but stable condition, following surgery at Sharei Tzedek Hospital.

For prayers, Glick’s full Hebrew name is: Yehuda Yehoshua ben Rivka Ita Breindel.
