The Housing Ministry will be working with Israel Police to provide a badly-needed increase in security for Har HaZeisim area and the Old City of the capital.
The move comes in response to mounting lobbying and pressure from chareidi lawmakers, responding to increasingly frequent attacks in Har HaZeisim, in which kevarim have been vandalized.
In addition to the vandal attacks, Jews making their way to and from Har HaZeisim too often are targets for Arabs throwing stones at their vehicles.

Why is the housing ministry involved in security for Har HaZeisim?
Its about time.
Now, let’s see if the problem is REALLY taken care of.
maybe chevra kadisha should start hiring real security as opposed to local Arabs .
And how long will it take before there will actual BE any security? Like, 6 months? Come on…. is anyone going to rely on the HOUSING ministry to get things arranged quickly?!
For the Knesset they have enough guards, but for Har HaZeisim – who cares. Welcome to the wonderful Zionist State of Israel!
