| Jerusalem Violence Isn't New Intifada, Says Senior Cop |
| 2014-10-26 |
| [IsraelTimes] A senior Israel Police officer downplayed the severity of ongoing unrest in Jerusalem, saying that the violence is not the beginning of a third Paleostinian uprising. "There is no intifada here," said Police Major General Aharon Eksol in an NRG interview published Saturday. "There is primarily a weakening sense of security as the result of a few riots and small incidents in different places, that demand a police response in a few locations throughout the capital. The more complicated story is the struggle against terror. We are working extensively with the Shin Bet and IDF in order to foil more than a few terror attacks. But one must remember that it is very hard to stop someone who wakes up in the morning and decides to take his car or his tractor and go run people over and kill." Eksol, operations officer for Israel Police, said that Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino met with Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein in an attempt to convince the justice system to take a harder line with rioters. |
