以警察打死涉嫌枪击犹太人的巴勒斯坦人

2014-10-31来源:VOA

Israeli police have shot dead a Palestinian man they suspect of attempting to kill an Israeli activist known for pushing for greater access for Jews at a flashpoint religious site in Jerusalem.

The two incidents have heightened an already tense situation surrounding the Old City complex that Jews call the Temple Mount and Muslims refer to as the Noble Sanctuary.  Both groups regard the site as one of their holiest.

Israeli security officials closed the area Thursday until further notice, a move that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called a "declaration of war."

Police said they stormed the home of Moatez Higazi hours after they suspect he shot Yehuda Glick outside a conference promoting Jewish access to the holy site.

Officials said Higazi shot at security forces, who then returned fire and killed him.
