Israel captures Palestinian attacker who stabbed 4

An Israeli spokesperson said the Palestinian was driving a taxi and ran into another vehicle on the main road.

A hospital spokeswoman said a 51-year-old Israeli was lightly injured when hit by the taxi.

Of the recent announcement of the marketing of almost 500 Jewish housing units in eastern Jerusalem, the official said: “The Israelis have made settlement announcements repeatedly over – for decades now, and we continue to express our view very clearly publicly and very clearly privately on that”.

An armed Israeli at the scene shot him dead, police said.

Palestinian allegations that Israel was trying to alter the religious status quo at a Jerusalem holy site, known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, where al-Aqsa mosque stands, and to Jews as Temple Mount, have partly fueled the violence.

In the West Bank, the Israeli army arrested 19 Palestinians overnight and on Sunday morning saying that they are wanted to the Israeli security forces for planning attacks against Israel. The Palestinians say the violence is rooted in frustration over almost a half-century of occupation and they accuse Israel of using excessive force to suppress the unrest.

Palestinian security officials confirmed she had died of her wounds.

After the latest attacks in a almost two-month wave of violence, an Israeli woman was in critical condition, while the other two assaults did not cause serious injuries.

An Israeli woman was stabbed to death and three Palestinian attackers were killed in a series of incidents in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Sunday, police said, as an eight-week-old wave of bloodshed showed no signs of ending.

The violence has Israelis on edge, and several politicians have urged licensed gun owners to carry their weapons. Shortly after the Tel Aviv attack, Mayor Ron Huldai called for Israelis to remain calm.

Violence between Israelis and Palestinians since the start of October has killed at least 86 people on the Palestinian side including one Arab Israeli, 15 Israelis, an American and an Eritrean.
