Israel to build new fence near violence hotspot of Hebron

Two Palestinians were shot and killed in separate incidents Thursday in the West Bank as Israel announced plans to build a new fence near the flashpoint city of Hebron in an effort to contain a two-month spate of violence.

Palestinian officials said a 21-year-old man was killed.

Kerry’s warning comes amid a relentless wave of attacks by Palestinians against Israeli civilians and security forces in Israel and across the West Bank.

According to the police, the 51-year-old Samir Seresi left his auto and tried to stab an officer with a knife, and officers at the scene shot him.

Embarrassed by the questions of the global human rights activists, but most of all by them witnessing this illegal detention, Israeli forces made a decision to arbitrarily arrest one of the human right activist, claiming that she was disturbing Israeli forces in doing their job.

The current spike in violence erupted in mid-September over tensions surrounding a sensitive Jerusalem holy site and quickly spread across Israel and into the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The global community has regularly urged Israelis and Palestinians to take measures to ease the unrest.

The attack occurred in the Israeli-occupied West Bank at a road junction near a cluster of Palestinian villages and Jewish settlements. Nineteen Israelis have been killed in the same period. Ibrahim died of his wounds sustained during clashes with Israeli soldiers two weeks ago near Beit El settlement, on the northern entrance of Ramallah, in a statement for the Palestinian ministry of health.

Also in Nablus, Israeli forces impounded eight buses, the owner of the vehicles said.

Abbas demanded that the United States put pressure on Israel to “stop its aggression and provocations against the Palestinians”, the official said.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, whose bid to broker a deal on Palestinian statehood alongside Israel stalled in early 2014, visited on Tuesday for talks with Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on how to stem the violence. Palestinians accuse Israel of using excessive force in suppressing violence.

At least 20 Israelis have been killed in a series of near-daily stabbings, shootings and car-ramming attacks since October 1.
