Israeli Army kills Palestinian for Alleged Stabbing northeast of Jerusalem

Israeli forces have killed three more Palestinians in separate incidents across the occupied West Bank over allegations that they tried to attack them.

A knife-wielding Palestinian stabbed and wounded two security personnel Thursday morning in Ariel, a settlement in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the Israel Defense Forces, or IDF, said.

Two Palestinians stabbed and killed an Israeli and seriously injured another at the entrance to Jerusalem’s old city before being shot and killed by border police in the latest incident in a wave of violence.

Israeli soldiers killed the man, who remains unidentified until the moment, following the alleged stabbing attempt.

The Palestinians have pointed to a deadly arson attack, believed to have been carried out by Jewish extremists in the West Bank last summer, as a key source of frustration.

In the third shooting, Israeli troops killed a Palestinian youth who allegedly ran over a soldier with his vehicle in the Adam settlement, also known as Geva Binyamin, and left him injured.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said there were two attackers, one who was fatally shot at the scene and one who died at a hospital.

Israel says the unrelenting violence is fanned by a Palestinian campaign of lies and incitement.

Video footage of Jewish zealots mocking the death by arson of a Palestinian baby has sparked outrage in Israel, even as some on the far right saw in the leak a possible bid to justify tough interrogation of suspects in the killing.

“The shocking pictures that were broadcast show the true face of a group that constitutes a danger to Israeli society and to the security of Israel”, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement.

Meanwhile the Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency announced that it had disrupted a large-scale Hamas terrorist cell that was based in the Abu Dis area of the West Bank, near Jerusalem, and which plotted bombings and suicide bombing attacks in Israel.

In recent weeks, Israeli authorities have arrested a number of suspected Jewish extremists over the July 31 firebombing in the West Bank village of Duma, though no one has been charged.

There was no immediate comment from Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip.
