In light of Hamas threats: Police are on high alert for riots on the Temple Mount and in the cities involved
The Jerusalem Police is on high alert ahead of Nakba Day, which will be marked tomorrow (Sunday) with Hamas calling on the masses to reach the Temple Mount.
In addition, "Passover Monday on the Temple Mount" will also be celebrated tomorrow, according to Jewish tradition, and Jews are expected to ascend the mountain.
The police fear is that Palestinian extremists will provoke a provocation while the Jews are on the mountain - one that could lead to further escalation.

Hamas calls on the Palestinian public in Jerusalem and the West Bank and on Israeli Arabs to come en masse to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and thwart attempts to invade it.
"These are desperate attempts that will not succeed in establishing facts on the ground, changing the historical facts in Alexa or dividing the mosque," the organization said in a statement.
The Fatah movement also stated that the Palestinian struggle would continue until a Palestinian state with its capital, East Jerusalem, was established.
In light of this, the police are planning to strengthen the security of the Jews who will ascend the Temple Mount and to secure the mountain area in several circles, openly and covertly.

"Ukraine avoids winning Eurovision": Hackers group threatens to disrupt online voting
Pro-Russian hacker slug Killnet is threatening to disrupt the online voting today (Saturday) of the Eurovision final organizers in order to prevent Ukraine's song from winning, as many expect.
This is the same group that a few days ago hit military and political institutions in Italy, which is hosting the competition this year, and has already threatened to do similar things against organizations in the British health system.

The current threat was launched in the Telegram, and the announcement said that the hackers intend to send "10 billion votes" to the electronic voting system, ie the one that is open to viewers at home and on which a significant part of the winner's score ultimately relies.
The goal, it seems, is not necessarily to cause the system to collapse but, as mentioned, to prevent the neighbor in the West from gaining fame in the year in which Russia withdrew from the competition because of its invasion.
Among other things, the announcement states that they also intend to "add points to another country."
