Palestinian student repeatedly strikes West Bank wall with axe

The Israeli army subsequently announced that his detention would not be renewed and he would be released on November 4. But the Palestinians said Israel would use the cameras to spy on and arrest people.

He was previously imprisoned from 2006 to 2009 for allegedly seeking to recruit suicide bombers and aiding wanted Palestinians.

A Palestinian attacker rammed his vehicle into a group of Israelis standing at a hitchhiking station in the West Bank Sunday, wounding four of them before he was shot dead by paramilitary officers, Israeli police said.

The surge of unrest since early October has triggered fears of a third Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation by a generation gripped by despair and anger over stalled peace efforts.

The first fatality in this round of violence was a 64-year-old Israeli who died after Palestinians pelted his auto with rocks in Jerusalem.

The Ministry also said that 2372 Palestinians were shot with live rounds and rubber-coated steel bullets, including many who suffered fractures and bruises after being repeatedly beaten by soldiers and paramilitary settlers in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem. Despair and frustration among young Palestinians are driving much of the violence, with many feeling they have nothing to lose, Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate head Major General Herzi Halevi has said, according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

Others students from the Palestinian Al-Quds University in Abu Dis took similar tools to the wall following clashes with Israeli forces.

Palestinians protested what they called Israeli plans to limit their access to the site they consider holy.

In Israel, a news website closely followed by religious Jews hosted a video game in which children were urged to “neutralize” attackers dressed as Arabs.

A clothing store in Gaza City named Hitler 2 is displaying mannequins with knives strapped to their hands as an homage to the upsurge in stabbing attacks on Israelis by Palestinians.

The residents of Hebron are the butt of many jokes in Palestinian popular culture.
