Palestinian shot after stabbing Israeli in Jerusalem

Palestinian boys look into the house of Bahaa Allyan, who was shot dead after he and an accomplice reportedly boarded a bus and shot and stabbed people at a Jerusalem in October a year ago, after it was partially demolished by Israeli forces in the east Jerusalem Palestinian neighbourhood of Jabal Mukaber on January 4, 2016. His condition was not serious and the dead Palestinian was not identified.

The attack in Duma village and ensuing, secretive Israeli investigation also laid bare fissures in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government, where one ultra-nationalist partner voiced misgivings at the handling of Jewish suspects.

Palestinian elections have not been held in a decade due to the bitter split between Hamas and Abbas’ Fatah, based in the occupied West Bank. Most of the others have been killed in clashes with security forces. He drove through a police checkpoint in Jerusalem. Israeli police Saturday continued their hunt for the gunman.

Yinon Reuveni is accused of another arson that targeted the Church of Loaves and Fishes in the Galilee.

The charges follow criticism last month over a video of gun-waving Jewish extremists celebrating the murder the Dawabsha toddler.

Israeli leaders says Islamist groups who call for the destruction of Israel have played a major role in inciting the recent violence.

Israel arrested four Jewish men suspected of being among them.

The family said they paid 5,000 Israeli shekels ($1,270, 1180 euros) for the body as a deposit, on the condition it would be returned if the funeral passed off peacefully.

“This trial is a parody”, Mohammad Dawabsha, 68, said. We are against violations of the law wherever they occur.

In an apparent escalation of hostilities between Israel and Palestinians in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers came under sniper fire in two separate incidents on Sunday, both in the area of Hebron.

Israeli media reported that the killing of an Arab-Israeli taxi driver on the same day was connected to the attacks, but police would not confirm the information, citing a gag order.

Having the suspects indicted was applauded, however, by the Yesha council, which is made up of a group of settlements in the West Bank.

Meanwhile, an Israeli woman soldier was shot and slightly wounded in the flashpoint West Bank city of Hebron on Sunday, rescue services said.

Two people were taken to Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus for treatment.
