Israel closes Palestinian al-Khalil radio station

In a separate incident on the same day in which three civilians were killed, a Palestinian shot at an Israeli bus before ramming his vehicle into another auto near the illegal settlement bloc of Gush Etzion in the occupied West Bank.

The independent human rights experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council said that the current escalation of violence is “occurring within the existing context of policies and practices under the longstanding Israeli occupation which entail violations of Palestinian human rights”.

The attack Thursday followed another in Israel – when a knife-wielding man stabbed and killed two Israelis as several of them gathered for afternoon prayers at an office building in the Israeli commercial center of Tel Aviv.

Abu Shahin is accused – though has not been convicted – of killing an Israeli in the West Bank last June.

It has set up checkpoints and concrete barriers in Arab areas of east Jerusalem, where numerous attackers have come from.

A Palestinian and three Israelis were also killed, according to Israeli police.

The West Bank attacker was shot, the army said, but the assailant s condition was not clear.

The director of al-Khalil Radio, Amjad Shawar, said Israeli soldiers stormed the radio station overnight, making it the second Palestinian news outlet to be closed this month by Tel Aviv.

Israel’s response to the violence has at times been controversial, such as the demolition of suspected attackers’ homes and allegations of excessive force in the killing of a few assailants.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu has also sent his sincerest condolences to the families of the victims and condemned the crime saying that the attacks are the same as the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.

But more visits in recent years by Jewish religious activists and ultra-nationalist Israeli politicians to the complex, where two biblical temples once stood, have done little to convince the Palestinians.

A Palestinian press freedoms watchdog, Mada, reported that there have been more than 450 violations of media freedom since the beginning of the year.

The violence has Israelis on edge.

The memorandum of understanding was signed on Thursday between Maj.

The Palestinians, who lack citizenship and wish to establish a Palestinian state, may also be driven by pessimism as the last round of talks to end the conflict ended in April 2014 without results, and as leaders of both sides blame each other for responsibility of the increasing violence. Gen. Yoav Mordechai and Palestinian Minister of Civil Affairs Hussen al-Sheikh signed an agreement granting Palestinian mobile carriers 3G high-speed data services in the West Bank.

The agreement will not extend 3G frequencies to the Gaza Strip, nor will it allow for 4G data transmission.
