Herzog: Gov't should lockdown Jerusalem's Palestinian neighbourhoods

Calling Tuesday "a very hard day" for Israel, Labour party leader Isaac Herzog called on Facebook for the Israeli government to lockdown Jerusalem's Palestinian neighbourhoods and "friction points".

Herzog also called for the broad deployment of army and police forces, potentially including reservists, if neccesary and for authorities to crackdown on Islamic websites which he said incite violence.

The Temple Mount - called al-Aqsa Mosque by Muslims - should be temporarily closed to visitors, he wrote.
