Israeli Security Guards Muslim Quarter Old City Jerusalem

Israeli police stand guard in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City near the area of several terror stabbing attacks on Israeli Jews by Palestinians, October 8, 2015. Tensions have grown in recent weeks between Israelis and Palestinians ignited by disputes over Jews visiting the Temple Mount for Jews or the Noble Sanctuary and Al Aqsa Mosque by Muslims. Nir Barkat, the Mayor of Jerusalem, called on all Israelis with gun permits to carry firearms in the wake of the wave of stabbings upon Israeli citizens. Photo by Debbie Hill/ UPI
