Israeli Temple Mount Activist Yehuda Glick Shot in Jerusalem by Arab Assassin (Video) …Update: Islamic Jihad Member

Israeli Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick was shot today in Jerusalem by an Arab assassin.
The gunman was an Arab who intentionally targeted Glick.

Haaretz reported:

Prominent U.S.-born right-wing activist Yehuda Glick was seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting Wednesday night outside the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem.

The gunman was an Arab man who intentionally targeted Glick, said MK Moshe Feiglin, who leads the far-right segment of Likud and said he witnessed the shooting.

“The attempted murderer turned to him and confirmed in Hebrew, in a heavy Arabic accent, that it was Yehuda,” Feiglin told reporters. He said Glick was in the middle of loading equipment into his car after attending a conference about the Temple Mount that was held at the Begin Center.

Glick, a spokesman for Israeli groups advocating greater Jewish access to the Temple Mount, was shot by a gunman on a motorcycle who opened fire about an hour after the close of the conference.

Police did not immediately say whether they considered the shooting a terrorist attack, saying they were investigating all possibilities.

Glick, who often led groups of Jews to visit the Temple Mount, founded an organization advocating for Jews to be allowed to pray at the Temple Mount, which would mark a highly charged change to the delicate status quo.

The Arab suspect was a member of the Islamic Jihad terror group.
