Following last week’s terror attack and subsequent placing of security measures around the Temple Mount, tensions were raised significantly when 3 members of a family were murdered on Friday night in Halamish by a terrorist.
This painful act of terror occurred as the family were gathering to celebrate the birth of a baby. The wife of one of the victims ushered her children upstairs to safety, and told her story (in Hebrew):

HonestReporting created this excellent video summing up what has been going on:

Meanwhile, London-based Jeff Gross wrote this excellent piece on the issue comparing the Temple Mount situation with the London attacks earlier this year:
BDS activists: “How dare Israel boycott us!”
Finally, in unrelated news, BDS activists were prevented from flying to Israel and then complained about Israel not allowing them to enter the country?!
"BDS activists: BOYCOTT ISRAEL!"
Also BDS activists: "HOW DARE ISRAEL BOYCOTT US!" – @AviMayer
