Israeli forces on Saturday blocked exits from the southern West Bank city of Hebron as they launched a manhunt for assailants after shooting incidents targeting Jewish worshippers and a soldier.

Also on Sunday, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian woman after alleging that she carried out a knife attack in the West Bank, Palestinian media reported. The guard was moderately wounded and shot the woman, wounding her. Neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem have been blockaded by Israeli occupation forces; extra police reservists and civil and border police have been deployed; and the homes of alleged attackers have been destroyed.

Later in the day, another Jewish settler was stabbed in the stomach by two Palestinians in the village of Nabi Ilyas.

Since the beginning of October, 11 Israelis have been killed in street attacks by Palestinians.

Israeli authorities say that the detained are accused of carrying out attacks against Israelis, whereas Palestinian human rights organization accuse Israel of tutoring Palestinians to intimidate them from participating in protests against Israel. “I have witnessed the systemic humiliation of Palestinian men, women and children by members of the Israeli security forces”, writes Archbishop Desmond Tutu, “[and] their humiliation is familiar to all black South Africans who were corralled and harassed and insulted and assaulted by the security forces of the apartheid government”.

In addition to stabbings, Palestinians have also used vehicles to attack Israelis. They added that the shots were fired from a distance.

Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah has recently called for Palestinian security forces to be allowed to patrol in certain areas of Hebron in order to provide “security and protection” for Palestinians, but this call has been rejected by Israel. Attack them in groups.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said that the Israeli authorities captured the body of the unidentified man, preventing the Palestinian medics from approaching the site.
