At least eight Israeli soldiers wounded in West Bank auto attacks

Without providing details, Channel Two said Israeli intelligence saw a “clear operational link” between the attack in the French capital, Thursday’s Beirut suicide bombings and the October 31 downing of a Russian airliner in the Egyptian Sinai.

Later in the day, six soldiers were wounded when a auto plowed into them near the Beit Ummar refugee camp in the southern West Bank.

Yehya Taha, 21, was shot in the head and later died, according to Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Mohammed Awawdeh. Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the man got out of a taxi near a military post and began running toward officers, brandishing a knife.

Hebron is the largest Palestinian city in the West Bank and a frequent flashpoint for violence.

Another 33 Palestinians were injured by gunfire at four different points along the Gaza border, according to paramedics.

“We call upon the global community to insist on the implementation of worldwide law and the relevant United Nations resolutions to give an end to the illegal settlement and Israeli occupation of Palestine’ he said”. It is the worst unrest since last year’s Gaza war and has prompted talk of a new Palestinian uprising, or Intifada, against Israel. Secondly, the series of attacks which preceded his meeting with Kerry and that left 8 Israelis dead contributed to his actions. Nineteen Israelis have been killed in the same period.

The newspaper added that the information that reached the Israelis indicated the possibility of the PA considering a resolution in either the UN Security Council or the General Assembly (where the USA has no veto), demanding global protection for Palestinians in “the occupied State of Palestine”.

On Friday, clashes were reported across the occupied territories, wounding several people, according to the Red Cross which had yet to compile a full tally.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government accuses it of inciting Arab Israelis and Palestinians to carry out violence spreading lies about the Temple Mount.

He announced tighter controls on Palestinian vehicles and an increase in the number of so-called “bypass roads” which create separate routes for Palestinians and Jewish settlers. At least 96 Palestinians have also died, including 61 said by Israel to be attackers.
