IDF goes on high alert in Jerusalem

Security services went on high alert in Jerusalem on Monday afternoon due to warnings of terror attacks that Palestinians are planning in the capital. The Shin Bet has received 57 warnings of terror attacks over the last few days.
The Israel Defense Forces closed the Qalandiyah checkpoint north of Jerusalem, have set up several portable roadblocks in the north Jerusalem area, and are increasing their patrols, Israel Radio reported. The IDF has also imposed a curfew on Ramallah.

It looks like the palestinians are planning their usual explosive welcome for high-ranking American government officials, baiting with bodies and blood the Israelis into a counterattack they can claim is "aggression."
