Israeli army: Palestinian shot after driving auto into troops

Karzen said he was warming chicken soup on his stove last week when rounds from an automatic rifle struck his building.

Later in the Gaza Strip, 23-year-old Salame Abu Jamaa was shot dead by Israeli security forces in clashes near the border with Israel, the enclave’s health ministry said.

A wave of knife, gun and vehicle attacks have hit Israel and the Palestinian territories since the start of October. “However, the object handled by the soldiers was a communications device”, a spokeswoman said. The hospital said she died en route. The woman’s family contested the claim that she would have tried to ram the soldiers. He said she had been on her way to her sister’s house for lunch when she was killed.

The Israeli army said he was sacked upon after he breached the buffer zone as part of a group.

“Hopefully this will calm down”. After about an hour, the undercover police withdrew, giving no reason, and the Palestinians began to hurl stones at the Israeli soldiers, who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets.

In the village of Beit Einun, north of Hebron, an Israeli soldier was shot and wounded.

The Israeli army said that Sharawi had attempted to run over the soldiers.

Hebron has been a focal point in the continuing unrest.

The city, where hundreds of Jewish settlers live in heavily guarded enclaves amid tens of thousands of Palestinians, is a frequent flashpoint for violence.

Additionally, a 48-year-old man was wounded in a second stabbing attack Sunday. Friday’s shooting near the shrine – revered by Muslims and Jews as the burial site of biblical patriarchs – could signal a further escalation of violence.

According to Israeli media, three Israelis were injured in the incident, while a fourth was shot and injured in the leg. Israeli public radio has said that two of the wounded are in critical condition.

The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank shuttered the local office of a pan-Arab newspaper over its reporting on Palestinian security coordination with Israel.

Israeli forces have set up additional checkpoints and road blocks throughout the city and have restricted access to the Old City and other neighbourhoods for non-residents. At the time, the measure’s co-sponsor Ted Deutch (D – Fla.) said, “It is well past time for President Abbas to stand up and condemn all acts of violence, rather than encouraging violence by glorifying terrorists and teaching children to view Israelis as animals”.
