Israel Military Deploys Hundreds Of Soldiers In Cities

It should end its occupation. Israel has adamantly denied the allegations and accused Palestinian leaders of inciting the violence and spreading lies.

The violence began on October 1, when a suspected cell of the Islamist movement Hamas shot dead a Jewish settler couple in the West Bank in front of their children.

Riyad Mansour told reporters Wednesday that Arab ambassadors will meet Thursday afternoon to discuss an Arab League call to convene an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the current violence.

“They want us to be afraid so we have to do the opposite”, said the woman, who identified herself only as Jana.

Two Israelis were killed in Jerusalem when two Palestinians with a gun and knives attacked passengers on a bus, while another Israeli was killed when an assailant stabbed him at a separate bus stop, according to VOA News. Samri says the woman was moderately wounded. His identity was not immediately known.

Hours after the first roadblocks were erected, police said another attacker attempted to stab a security guard at an entrance to Jerusalem’s Old City but was shot dead before harming anyone.

A third attack took place in Raanana, just north of Tel Aviv, where authorities said an assailant stabbed a civilian at a bus stop before being subdued by others and detained by police.

Eight Israelis have died in a series of stabbings, shootings and the stoning of a auto, while 29 Palestinians, including 12 dubbed by Israel as attackers, have been killed.

Israeli authorities have fired tear gas at Palestinian protesters in Bethlehem, with a young boy being injured in the clashes.

Clashes broke out after the funeral, with youths throwing stones and firebombs and Israeli forces responding with tear gas and rubber bullets – a daily occurrence in parts of the occupied West Bank in the past two weeks.

Violence has been partly triggered by Palestinians’ anger over what they see as increased Jewish encroachment on Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque compound, also revered by Jews as the site of two destroyed Jewish temples.

Other cabinet ministers added proposals to bar families of alleged attackers from receiving welfare benefits and to ease restrictions for Israelis to possess firearms.

“Israel will settle scores with those who are killing and those who are encouraging them”. They are no longer residents of Israel and will not be able to receive all the privileges’. Erdan suggested the attackers be buried without fanfare in distant cemeteries where previous Palestinian killers have been buried.

Funerals of Palestinians are a frequent flashpoint for clashes and often include calls for revenge.

It came as hundreds of Israeli troops were deployed to bolster police forces on Wednesday, following steps taken by Israel’s security cabinet.

Israeli military also announced that it will send six companies to assist police after the cabinet approved the deployment of reinforcements for city police, a move that observers say is unprecedented.

On Tuesday night, Israel’s security cabinet authorised police to close or surround “centres of friction and incitement” in Jerusalem.

The month of violence reached its deadliest day Tuesday with at least three Israelis killed.
