Response of the rabbi of the Western Wall, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, to last night’s terror attack against worshippers: “I am deeply horrified and pained about the terror attack against innocent worshippers who were leaving the Western Wall and King David’s Tomb. I call upon leaders of other religions to unequivocally condemn the terror attack. Prayers will be dedicated at the Western Wall today for the recovery of all those wounded in last night’s attack.”
The Rabbi added, that he supports the Israel Police and security forces and is convinced they will act to fortify security in the Old City area.
