Israeli soldier shot dead in attack at Beersheva bus station

Israeli soldiers also clashed with armed Palestinians in the Qalandiya refugee camp and delivered a home demolition order to the family of Tareq al-Dweik, a 22-year-old Palestinian who was arrested after allegedly stabbing four Israelis last week.

Tensions have run high in Israel amid a wave of violence that has seen a few 29 knife attacks against Israelis by Palestinians since the beginning of October.

After the attack a crowd of Israelis gathered outside the bus station chanting “death to Arabs”. Such visits are coordinated with Israel. But Palestinians say it is the result of years of Israeli occupation, failed peace efforts and lack of hope among their youth.

“Israel’s cabinet also imposed more security measures on Sunday after further Palestinian stabbings this weekend, widening police stop-and-frisk powers that will effectively allow them to search anyone on the street”.

Security concerns have also hit Jerusalem schools, which saw a recent strike demanding guards work longer hours. The film documents protests in the West Bank city of Bil’in, which has been the site of major settlement grabs by the Israelis.

He said the delegation comprises surgeons, anesthesiologists and orthopedic specialists “with advanced experience” after working through three wars between Israel and Gaza militants, and dozens of violent flare-ups in the Hamas-controlled territory.

France’s ambassador to Israel, Patrick Maisonnave, was meanwhile summoned to the foreign ministry for 0730 GMT Monday over the resolution, French and Israeli diplomatic sources said.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said Israel expressed its “firm opposition” to the French proposal for a United Nations Security Council resolution that would establish an global presence to ensure the status quo at the site.

Kerry is also expected to meet with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan’s King Abdullah somewhere in the Middle East, possibly in Jordan.

Numerous attacks were carried out by residents of east Jerusalem, the sector captured and annexed by Israel in 1967 and claimed by Palestinians as a future capital.

Tareq Barghout, the lawyer of Ahmed Manasra, 13, disputes the intentions of a video that Israel released to worldwide media, which showed Manasra lying in an Israeli hospital while being fed and taken care of by Barghout. The alleged attacker, whose identity was not immediately known, was shot and killed.

In the southern West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday an Israeli settler shot and killed a Palestinian man he says was trying to stab him.

One Israeli soldier was killed and at least nine bystanders were injured after a gunman opened fire at the main bus station in Beersheba Sunday evening, Israeli police said.

Local media reported that it appeared an Eritrean man was accidentally shot by security forces after they mistakenly thought he was linked with the attacker.

The shooting attack on Sunday began when the Bedouin attacker, Mohannad Al-Oqbi, 21, shot Israeli soldier Sgt. Omri Levi, 19, point-blank with a pistol, police said.

Soroka University Medical Center said 10 shooting victims were brought for treatment Sunday night, including one who arrived showing no signs of life; two others who were seriously wounded; and the rest lightly-to-moderately wounded, mainly with injuries to their extremities.
