Israeli forces have killed 79 Palestinians since start of October
One alleged attacker was shot and killed, two suspected assailants, including a preteen boy, were wounded.
Israeli forces shot dead one Palestinian and wounded another after they allegedly carried out separate stabbing attempts in the occupied West Bank, Israeli sources said.
Israel’s Ynet reported that the two boys behind the attack are cousins from an east Jerusalem neighborhood.
“Passengers on the train took control of the second attacker until the rapid arrival of police”, police spokeswoman Luba Samri told the paper. At least 10 Israelis and 61 Palestinians were killed last month, and that number, unfortunately, continues to rise.
In recent weeks, most of the bloodshed has occurred in the West Bank. Twelve Israelis have been killed in attacks since early October.
The poll examined the attitudes of Israeli citizens – both Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel – as tensions and unrest soar amid growing violence.
Commentators have highlighted the Israeli government made a similar move in 2010 when it announced the construction of 1,600 new settlement units just as US Vice President Joe Biden was arriving in Jerusalem.
Monday’s raid comes amid a wave of Palestinian attacks, mainly stabbings, in the West Bank and east Jerusalem over the past two months.
Israeli police also released security camera video showing the cousins armed with knives hunting down their victims at a candy store, including a 13-year-old who was critically wounded. His 4-year-old brother Ahmad is being treated in an Israeli hospital. He was shot dead by Israeli forces, according to an Israeli army spokesperson. Meanwhile, only 31.3 percent of Arab Israelis gave the IDF a good ranking.
“He wanted to frighten them, to show them that they can not keep killing [Palestinians] without a reaction”.
Palestinian militants have called for a knife “intifada”, or uprising, against Israel and numerous assailants have been teenagers. “All I know is that I can’t take it”. “Do not fear what will be said about you”. While I was talking, I saw her putting her hand in her purse.
