Israeli soldiers kill a Palestinian near Hebron: medics

Israel has accused Palestinian officials of inciting the violence by spreading the allegations, which it says are false.

Israel’s Haaretz newspaper reported that military intelligence chief Herzl Halevi had told Sunday’s cabinet meeting that feelings of rage and frustration among Palestinians were behind the recent wave of stabbing attacks.

The violence shows no signs of abating.

Eleven Israelis have died, mostly in stabbing attacks, while 70 Palestinians have been killed, including 44 people Israel identified as attackers.

The military says that, over the past month, Palestinians have carried out 29 attacks in the city, including 22 stabbings, four vehicular assaults and three shooting attacks. Al Hurria was previously shut down in 2002 and 2007.

Ayman al-Qawasmi, Al-Hurria’s director, said soldiers approached the building around 2:00 a.m.

The government announced a series of project to support the “resilience” of Hebron residents, including launching 20 projects with a total value of $7,238,000 to support health, education, and infrastructure in the city as well as providing aid to people living in the old city and areas surrounded by the Israeli settlements in Hebron. “They want to silence our voice”.

The violence began with clashes at a sensitive Jerusalem holy site and quickly spread across Israel and into the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, the leader-in-exile of the Islamic militant group Hamas on Wednesday urged Palestinians to step up unrest to “liberate Jerusalem and the West Bank”, saying efforts by his internationally backed Palestinian rival are insufficient.

However, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu has argued that Israel is using “exactly the kind and amount of legitimate force” that any other state would do.

But banning an Israeli from Jerusalem is a rare move that reflects Israel’s attempts to lower tensions and stamp out the violence.
