Four hurt in new Israel stabbing attack as Palestinians bury their dead

Israel has said it has no intention of allowing any change to the status quo under which Jews are allowed to visit the site but non-Muslim prayer is banned. Magen David Adom said it was treating one person. An assailant tried to stab a border policeman in Jerusalem before being shot by security forces around 9 A.M. The policeman wasn’t wounded. When an officer approached her auto, she chanted “God is greatest” and detonated the gas canister, it said, adding that police found handwritten letters on her praising Palestinian “martyrs”.

A Palestinian witness who was walking by heard the gunshots.

In the past 12 days of bloodshed, four Israelis and 22 Palestinians, many of whom had carried out knife attacks, have been killed in Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank, Gaza and Israeli cities. The man then attacked an officer with a knife, but the officer was wearing a protective vest and was not injured, she said. “The young man was walking when they shouted at him”. Police said the protests were “contained” and did not report any arrests. Following last year’s collapse of peace talks, and with little hope for the future, the Palestinian public has grown deeply unhappy with Abbas.

The police officer was unharmed in the clash, Samri said.

Interior Minister Silvan Shalom said he was considering revoking the citizenship of Israeli Arabs who have been involved in attacks and removing residency rights from those in east Jerusalem.

And Abbas said he reiterated the need for Israeli authorities to stop giving cover to “settler provocations, carried out under the army’s protection”. An Israeli police officer was lightly wounded due to the explosion.

Meanwhile, there were more stabbing attacks, which have spread fear among Israelis. The New York Times reported that an Israeli retaliatory strike targeting two Hamas weapon manufacturing facilities killed a pregnant woman and a toddler. “An innocent civilian’s house was bombed which killed a woman and her child”.

At least 20 Palestinian students were also injured, eight by live ammunition, near the Khaddoury College, located in the West Bank city of Tulkarem.

That attack took place near police headquarters in Jerusalem, in an area that straddles the eastern district and the predominantly Jewish west.

Hundreds of other Palestinians were wounded in the clashes in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, the Red Crescent said.

The total number of Palestinians killed since the beginning of October now stands at 24.

Funerals of Palestinians killed during riots or while allegedly carrying out attacks – as well as videos of the shootings – have fed anger.

Medical sources identified him as Ibrahim Awad, 28, from Beit Umar, a village north of the southern West Bank city. The orders are “a primary preventive and deterrent measure”, according to a statement from Netanyahu’s office.

He made separate phone calls to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

Tensions between Israel and the Palestinians continued to simmer on Monday.
