Palestinian and 2 Israelis shot dead yesterday, south Bethlehem

On Tuesday, Israel banned the radical wing of the country’s main Islamist organisation, accusing it of instigating violence at a sensitive Jerusalem holy site that preceded the wave of unrest. The wave of violence has claimed the lives of 15 Israelis and dozens of Palestinians.

Three were killed in the West Bank: an Israeli, Yaakov Don, 51; the American, Ezra Schwartz, on a gap year between high school and college; and a Palestinian, Shadi Arafa, 24.

“He was drenched in blood, stabbed all over”, Vaknin said.

The two attacks shattered almost a week of calm in Israel.

The attack took place in the Panorama building on Ben Tzvi Street in southern Tel Aviv on Thursday afternoon.

The West Bank attacker was shot, the army said, but the assailant s condition was not clear.

In the attack, a Palestinian gunman opened fire with a submachine gun at cars stuck in a traffic jam around 5 p.m. Schwartz was pronounced dead at the scene.

The attack, in Israel’s economic hub of Tel Aviv returned the violence to the Israeli heartland, shattering a lull that had set in outside of the West Bank, and stoking Israeli fears that a fully-fledged Palestinian uprising could erupt.

Three people were killed in the incident, with at least one of them confirmed as Israeli and another a suspected attacker.
