Jordan: No cameras inside mosques at Jerusalem holy site
In an effort to curb violence in Hebron, the Palestinian Authority leadership is considering asking the Israeli army to reestablish the Joint Security Committee, the cooperative effort between the Palestinian National Security Forces and the Israeli army which had been in force in the city between 1995 and early 2001 in order to keep Hebron calm.
The videos – a few of which have been captured by smartphone users – include one showing troops shooting a wounded Palestinian at close range.
Israel is to free a Palestinian detainee who survived a two-month hunger strike later Wednesday after holding him for a year without trial, the prison service said.
72 Palestinians were also killed by Israeli forces and civilians during October.
Over the same period, at least 2,350 Palestinians have been injured by Israeli gunfire, while thousands of others have suffered temporary asphyxia as a result of excessive teargas, the ministry said.
Israeli officials say that 26 of the assailants from the past few weeks are from Hebron.
Israel has vehemently denied the allegations, but Palestinians point to an increase in visits by extremist Jews backed by hard-line Israeli legislators as proof. Since last month, 10 Israelis have been killed in more than 65 separate stabbings, attempted stabbings or car-ramming attacks.
Addressing Palestinian fears that Israel could use the cameras to identify Palestinians to be arrested for incitement, the king told the delegation members: “I want to be clear, there will be no cameras inside the mosque”.
The violence was originally focused in and around Jerusalem but the epicentre later moved to Hebron in the south of the occupied West Bank. Ali Dawabsheh, a toddler, was burned to death, while his mother and father later died of their wounds. They have a name for being stubborn and often slow on the uptake.
He died and two passengers were hurt after Palestinians pelted their auto with rocks as they drove home from a meal marking the Jewish New Year in Jerusalem. Hamas has mostly stayed in the background since the current round of violence began. Palestinian leaders have done a lot to whip up this violence but little to stop it. They have, instead, been saying things that would worsen the situation.
Shortly after the harvest had wrapped up and the security forces had left, Ascherman was trying to approach and film Israelis who were apparently setting fire to a nearby grove when the masked suspect came rushing toward him.
