Israel increases security in Jerusalem ahead of Ramadan due to terror concerns

Israeli authorities are deploying additional police forces around the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This comes after several security incidents, including a police operation that shut down a road near the security barrier over infiltration fears, the indictment of a Jerusalem man for attempting to set a bus on fire, and the arrest of two people over a suspected terror plot near the city. Palestinians have reported new access restrictions being put in place.
