"An Israeli couple was shot dead while they were driving through the occupied West Bank" and Israeli forces believe that the person who did this was Palestinian. Apparently the couple was killed in Itamar, a Jewish settlement, and the four children in the car were unhurt. There were gunshot wounds in the man and severe wounds in the woman. Both were dead when the paramedics got there.
There has been a hatred for so long between the Muslims and Jews there. The holy site called the Temple Mount is a sacred place that the Jews believe is rightfully theirs; a gift from God. The Muslims also believe that it is rightfully theirs. Both religions have "proof" in the holy scriptures that the place was meant for them. There will always be these tensions between these people because both are certain that the are correct. There is no sharing the Temple Mount; they must have it for themselves.
These tensions have been going on for so long that it seems almost impossible for it to ever stop. I completely understand where both sides are coming from in relations to not giving up the Temple Mount. If the holy text that they so proudly believe in tell them that it is theirs, of course they will fight for it and protect it. It is noble but on one hand it is so violent. The violence and brutality never stops and so many suffer for it.
