Israel Sets Up Checkpoints around Arab Neighborhoods in Jerusalem

(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross and Raoul Wootliff - Police began setting up checkpoints at "the exits of Palestinian villages and neighborhoods in east Jerusalem," a police spokeswoman said. All five of Tuesday's attackers hailed from Arab neighborhoods in east Jerusalem. "IDF units will reinforce the Israel Police in cities and along roads," and will deploy "along the security fence," the Prime Minister's Office said. The security cabinet approved Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan's proposal that Israel not hand over to their families the bodies of terrorists killed during attacks. Erdan said terrorists should not be honored with admiration and ceremonies after carrying out attacks. "The families of terrorists turn their funerals into a demonstration of support for terrorism and incitement to murder. We must put an end to this," he said.
