ISIS is also threatening to take over the Temple
Mount.
 (Israel)—The Islamic State (ISIS) has appeared in
Jerusalem, with fliers attributed to the terror group being posted in the Holy
City, reported Israeli media over the weekend. According to Israel's Channel
10, the fliers were posted as early as Thursday. (Temple Mount photo by

ISIS does not have an operational presence in Israel, but many Islamists
support the terror group, with dozens of Arab citizens joining the fighting in
Iraq and Syria. Earlier this month, rocket fire from Gaza into Israel was blamed
on these supporters, allegedly attempting to stir up unrest between Israel and
Hamas.
The leaflets threaten "revenge" against Jerusalem's Christians and were
signed "ISIS Palestine". According to a report in Haaretz, fliers
welcoming Ramadan were posted Saturday, reading: "We tell the heretic
Christians, you must clear out immediately or we'll massacre you on Eid al-Fitr,
marking the end of Ramadan, and one month is time enough to evacuate."
These were signed "Islamic State, Jerusalem Emirate," according to the paper.
Haaretz noted they may have been a prank.
Meanwhile, reports have appeared on social media of the ISIS flag being flown
atop the Temple Mount, the holiest site for Jews and a holy place for Muslims as
well. Once home to the First and Second Temples, the Mount now hosts the al-Aqsa
Mosque and the Dome of the Rock shrine.
Temple Mount activist Rabbi Yehuda Glick told Breaking Israel News,
"The situation on the Temple Mount is very worrying. The situation in general
among Muslim leadership where, for some reason, celebrations like Ramadan are
immediately interpreted as a celebrations of violence and terror is something
that is very sad, mostly on the Muslim side.
