Hebron: Israeli forces shut down second radio station in one month

An assailant stabbed and wounded four Israelis, including a 13-year-old girl, in southern Israel on Saturday before fleeing the scene, setting off a large manhunt, police said.

An Israeli police spokesman told AFP news agency that security forces were searching for at least one person over a “confirmed terrorist attack”.

Earlier Saturday, Israeli army forces shut down al-Khalil radio station in the city of Hebron for a period of six months, citing incitement to violence as a pretext.

For their part, Israeli leaders continue to exploit the attacks in Paris by insisting that Palestinians are driven by the same motivations as the suspected Islamic State gunmen and bombers who killed 130 people last Friday. Palestinian attacks have killed 17 Israelis, mostly in stabbings, while 84 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers.

“We’re certainly aware of reports that a USA citizen was killed in an attack in the West Bank today, but I don’t have any information right now to be able to confirm that”, he said. The first happened in Tel Aviv.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a November 9 meeting with US President Barack Obama, was said to have spoken of measures aimed at easing tensions amid the wave of Palestinian attacks.

But the Jordanian-run trust or “Waqf” that administers the site complained that Israeli police had blocked them from installing the cameras, and negotiations are continuing. The unrest has spread across Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza border.

Mr. Netanyahu said that Israel would “settle accounts” with the perpetrators, exact a price from their families and destroy their homes.

The attacks occurred one day after the year anniversary of the killings of five worshipers, including three Americans, inside a Jerusalem synagogue by two Palestinians armed with meat cleavers and a gun.

Schwartz was a resident of Sharon, Mass., who was studying at a yeshiva in Israel for a year between high school and college.
