ISIS does not have an operational presence in Israel, but many Islamists support the terror group, with dozens of Arab citizens joining the fighting in Iraq and Syria. Earlier this month, rocket fire from Gaza into Israel was blamed on these supporters, allegedly attempting to stir up unrest between Israel and Hamas.

The leaflets threaten "revenge" against Jerusalem's Christians and were signed "ISIS Palestine". According to a report in Haaretz, fliers welcoming Ramadan were posted Saturday, reading: "We tell the heretic Christians, you must clear out immediately or we'll massacre you on Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, and one month is time enough to evacuate."

These were signed "Islamic State, Jerusalem Emirate," according to the paper. Haaretz noted they may have been a prank.

Meanwhile, reports have appeared on social media of the ISIS flag being flown atop the Temple Mount, the holiest site for Jews and a holy place for Muslims as well. Once home to the First and Second Temples, the Mount now hosts the al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock shrine.

Temple Mount activist Rabbi Yehuda Glick told Breaking Israel News, "The situation on the Temple Mount is very worrying.
