American Teenager Among Five People Killed in Terrorist Attacks in Tel Aviv

Sixteen Israelis were slain in the same period. He was killed when a Palestinian sprayed a vehicle in which he was riding with bullets near a Jewish settlement.

Five people, including an American, have died in Palestinian attacks in Tel Aviv and the West Bank, shattering a lull in weeks-long violence.

A knife-wielding Palestinian man fatally stabbed two Israeli men in a southern Tel Aviv office building before being apprehended, police and witnesses said.

The first incident took place at a busy office block in south Tel Aviv, where the assailant attempted to stab worshippers who had gathered for afternoon prayers.

The violence initially was confined to Jerusalem and gradually spread deeper into Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

With the majority of Palestinian attackers in the recent spate of violence coming from Hebron, the city and its surrounding areas have been at the centre of crackdowns by the Israeli army, which has carried out arrests and a number of highly contested shootings.

“My thoughts and prayers are with those who were killed in the two terrorist attacks in Israel that targeted innocent civilians”, he said. But no Jewish homes destroyed.

While not mentioning terror attacks against Israel, Mladenov went on to “reiterate” the UN’s “resolute condemnation of all terrorist attacks”.

OCHA affirmed that the demolitions are “a form of collective punishment and as such are illegal under global law”. Israeli extremists burned 16-year-old Mohammed alive in revenge for the killings of three Israeli teens in the West Bank.

Abu Shahin’s wife and children lived in the targeted house. The gunman fled the scene, but was captured by Israeli security forces.

Israeli soldiers shot dead Laith Assad Manasra, 21, and Ahmad Abu al-Aish, 28, in the densely populated refugee camp.

An 18-year-old American student who has ties to New Haven was among the day’s victims. One of the other West Bank victims who died was an Israeli man in his 50s, a father of four according to local media. “He was the kind of person who would go and feed others – that’s actually what he was doing the day he was killed”. She said he was a 24-year-old Palestinian from the West Bank village of Dura.

Israel says more than half of them were killed as they were carrying out attacks.

In the past, Israel has told Palestinians that there were not enough frequencies for 3G and that they should lease access to them from Israeli providers.

Israel stated that Saleh opened fire on a military jeep, but the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) notes that there “was no eyewitness to confirm or deny the Israeli claim”. “Given the clear evidence captured on videotape of the excessive use of force, it is hard to see how this sentence would promote full accountability for the actions of the police officer in this case”.

Over 7,000 Palestinians have been injured in the same time period.
