State to pay right-wing activist NIS 500,000

A Jerusalem court orders the state to pay Temple Mount activist Yehudah Glick — who survived an assassination attempt on October 29, 2014 — NIS 500,000 ($125,000) for unlawfully distancing him from the holy site, the Ynet news website reports.

The court also commands the state to cover the NIS 150,000 ($37,500) in legal fees, the report says.
