Two Palestinian terrorists managed to enter the Israeli community of Eli in Binyamin on the early morning of Wednesday.

They attacked and wounded a Jewish man at the entrance to his home with wooden clubs, but he managed to fend them off and close the door, thereby saving himself, his wife and their five children.

The two terrorists, who attempted to hide in one of the buildings, were located and killed by gunfire.

Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick visited the holiest site in Judaism on Tuesday morning, for the first time in over a year and a half during which he was refused access to the site for allegedly attacking a Muslim woman.

The charges, which Glick completely rejected, were recently withdrawn and he was acquitted, enabling him to return to the site. Glick is a long-standing advocate of freedom of worship and freedom of movement for Jews at the Temple Mount, where Jewish prayers are forbidden and access is severely restricted.

In November, 2014 Palestinian terrorist Moataz Hijazi attempted to murder Glick by shooting him several times from a short range. Glick was critically wounded, but made an unlikely recovery after which Israeli police still did not let him return to the Temple Mount until today.

Following a security assessment headed by commander of the Judea and Samaria District General Shlomi Michael, Palestinian workers will be allowed tomorrow to enter the Jewish city of Ma’ale Adumim, which is located directly east of Jerusalem. The security assessment was made in light of the stabbing attack last week that was carried out by a Palestinian employee at the Ma’ale Adumim mall.

Before being allowed to enter, Palestinian workers must first have their visas examined by the Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria.

Israeli security forces are continuing to make additional assessments throughout Ma’ale Adumim, focusing with particular emphasis on crowded locations, entrances to the community and industrial zones.

In a special plenary session this evening, the Knesset is marking two years since the death of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in early January of 2014. Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein opened up the ceremony, followed by addresses given by both Prime Minister Netanyahu and Opposition Head Yitzchak Herzog (Zionist Camp).

Sharon, who served as Prime Minister from 2001-2006 went into a coma in January of 2006 after suffering a stroke.

Sharon also served as Defense Minister during Israel’s First Lebanon War. Formerly a member of the Likud party, Sharon founded the now-defunct Kadima party in the fall of 2005 after facing significant opposition within the Likud party to make further concessions following the “Disengagement” from Gaza.

Israel’s Education Minister Naftali Bennett, who leads the Jewish Home (HaBayit HaYehudi) party in the Knesset, criticized the official Israeli policy and said Israel should extend its sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.

“A people cannot be an occupier in its own land,” said Bennett in a party meeting. “We should stop talking about withdrawals and start talking about sovereignty.”
