75 palestinians killed, 2372 injured since outbreak of Jerusalem intifada

Israeli forces overnight detained four Palestinians, including a 14-year-old child, from Halhul and Yatta towns, north and south of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, security sources told WAFA.

It’s the latest incident in weeks of nearly daily Palestinian attacks against Israeli civilians and security forces.

“A border policeman was taken to hospital seriously wounded and is in life-threatening condition”, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said in a statement.

The plan to introduce cameras at the site was suggested by Jordan and announced by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry during a diplomatic push last month to quell the violence.

The same day a Palestinian tried to stab an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint in the northern West Bank and was shot dead.

Amid the recent wave of terror sweeping Israel, research group the Meir Amit Intelligence and Information Center released a report on Tuesday profiling what it called the “Palestinian who most commonly carries out a terrorist attack in Israel, especially a stabbing attack”. He said that “throwing a rock is an attempt to murder and there should at least be a minimum punishment”.

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

Thousands of Palestinian mourners attended the funerals of the teenagers, two of whom were girls, in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, a powder-keg in the decades-old Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Hamas has controlled Gaza since ousting pro-Abbas forces from the coastal territory in bloody street battles in 2007. Since then, Hamas fought three wars against Israel.

Palestinian prisoner Muhammad Allan was released late Wednesday from Israel prison custody, ending a year-long stint in administrative detention that he undertook a 66-day hunger strike to protest.
