A city on edge, Jerusalem must remain calm or an uneasy peace could turn into war – By Alistair Bunkall (Sky News) / April 15, 2022
Through late March and early April, Israel suffered one of the worst waves of terrorist attacks it has experienced for many years. In four separate incidents, 14 Israelis were killed, and scores injured.
On Friday, for the first time in three decades, the festivals of Passover, Ramadan, and Easter coincide.
In Jerusalem, millions will pray and celebrate their respective faiths, all a few cramped square metres from one another, inside the confines of the ancient city walls.
Violence broke out in the morning and dozens were injured as Israeli police clashed with Palestinians at Al-Aqsa mosque compound.
The holy city, already tense, is on edge, as concerns rise that we could be on the brink of a repeat of last year’s 11-day war.
