This week’s R&D from Prepd covers recent violence in Israel. Muslim worshippers and Israeli police clashed a few weeks ago at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, leading to the suspension of the United Arab List in Israel’s governing coalition. There have been other clashes near holy sites as well, leading to fears of a third intifada, or uprising, by Palestinians. Recent violence has also spilled beyond Israel’s borders as the country made a military strike on Southern Lebanon after a rocket was fired into Northern Israel four days ago.
