Two Palestinian men shot dead by Israeli troops after wounding soldier

Earlier a Palestinian stabbed and moderately wounded a soldier in Jerusalem before he was arrested.

Holiday signs have been banned at an intersection in the little town of Bethlehem, New York.

On Friday, Israeli border guards shot dead a Palestinian woman who tried to ram a auto into them in the West Bank, shortly after a Palestinian was killed in clashes with Israeli forces near the border with the Gaza Strip.

Israeli forces have shot dead two Palestinians over an alleged stabbing attack in the occupied West Bank.

Tensions have dramatically escalated since the Israeli regime’s imposition of restrictions in August on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

“Forces responded to the imminent danger and fired towards the perpetrator”, the military said, adding that the injured soldier had been evacuated to hospital.

20 Israelis have also been killed.

The media added that earlier in the day, four Palestinians have been detained while one Israeli soldier has been injured in four similar incidents.

All three Palestinians were killed during the attacks.

In the first incident, police “spotted a man who aroused their suspicions and approached him to check”, the spokeswoman said.

An Israeli soldier was wounded after a stabbing attack at the Hawara checkpoint.

A Ma’an reporter identified the Palestinians as Muhammad Rafiq Hussien Sabana, 17, and Noor al-Deen Muhammad Abdul-Qadir Sabana, 23. Israel says 88 of them were attacking or attempting to attack Israelis while the rest died in clashes with Israeli troops.

Jerusalem District Police said that the man followed the soldier as he walked down HaTsvi Street and stabbed him in the upper body. Palestinians say the violence stems from frustration over almost five decades of Israeli military rule.

The latest round of US-brokered peace talks collapsed in April previous year.

Police said the attacker is a 30-year-old man with an Israeli ID card who lives on Azaria in central Israel.
