Palestinian suspected knife attacker killed in West Bank

Eleven Israelis have been killed by Palestinian terrorists, while 58 Palestinians, many of them attackers, also have been killed.

Saturday’s foiled knife attack comes after the funeral late Friday in Jenin of Ahmed Kemil, a Palestinian shot and killed by Israeli forces at the same checkpoint a week ago.

Israel, Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories have been gripped by a surge of violence, with nine Israelis killed in a spate of knifings and shootings this month.

He was speaking after handing over a new dossier to Bensouda, “making reference to the extra-judicial killings, home demolition and collective punishments”. The IDF said it was investigating the incident.

The worldwide group regards all Jewish settlements within the West Bank as unlawful, however the Israeli authorities makes a distinction between these it has authorised and people it has not.

Numerous attackers who have targeted Israeli forces come from Hebron, a stronghold of the Islamist movement Hamas and a powder keg in the decades-old Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Hebron, a city of 200,000 Palestinians, has always been the commercial heart of the occupied West Bank. He said the age restrictions were enforced only partially. The 20-percent Arab-Palestinian minority in Israel believe that it is the Israeli government, and not the Palestinian leadership, that is responsible for the outbreak of hostilities, according to a survey published by the Haifa-based think tank Mada al-Carmel.

The Israeli military did not provide details.

This number includes five Palestinians who died as a possible result of tear gas inhalation, delayed medical treatment due to checkpoints and medical neglect by prison authorities.

It’s not the first time Americans have been hurt in recent Palestinian stabbing attacks.

Israel says the five stabbed or had attempted to stab soldiers.

Also on Friday, two Palestinians allegedly tried to rush a paramilitary police checkpoint on the outskirts of the city of Nablus.

Clashes also erupted in Ramallah where an AFP journalist reported an Israeli army jeep hit a crowd of protesters, injuring a young man.

The Health Minister has reported that 71 Palestinians have been killed, and 921 Palestinians have been shot and injured with live Israeli army rounds, since the beginning of this month, in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, while 855 were shot with rubber-coated steel bullets, and 208 suffered fractures and bruises after being assaulted and beaten by soldiers and fanatic settlers.

“I wanted to say they shoot and then ask questions, but the truth is they shoot and then they fabricate a stabbing story”.

On Friday, Palestinians in Hebron said Israel had announced it would declare the area around the cave compound a “closed military zone” after the weekly Muslim prayers.

The footage showed soldiers pushing back and using a spray on Palestinian medics and trying to reach the Palestinian struck by the jeep. The United States, Israel’s closest ally, has blocked several proposed resolutions. The global community has repeatedly said they are illegal, while the Palestinians see the West Bank as part of their future independent state.

The prosecutor “cautioned that the situation may further degenerate into a large-scale commission of crimes that may fall within the jurisdiction of the ICC”, her office said in a statement.
