Israeli occupation forces also stormed a Palestinian university in the occupied West Bank, following more than a month of violence that has raised fears of a third Palestinian Intifada, or uprising.

The attack is the latest in a wave of increased violence that has left at least eleven Israelis dead and over 150 injured since the beginning of October, according to Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The witness told Ma’an that he “saw two Israeli soldiers on the ground bleeding after they were apparently run over by a Palestinian vehicle”.

Wednesday’s attack came 20 years to the day since the assassination of Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.

Yesterday, dozens of protesters outside the site, known to Muslims as the Ibrahimi Mosque, condemned restrictions on access imposed by Israel, which has split it into a mosque and a synagogue.

Earlier this week, the IDF shut down the al-Hurriya radio station located in Hebron, charging “that the station had broadcast vicious incitement against Israel, encouraged stabbing attacks, and supported violent resistance”. A spate of protests, clashes and stabbings have ensued.

“Forces at the scene responded to the immediate threat and shot the assailant”.

Palestinians stress that the status quo they refer to is the one that was enforced before Israel occupied the eastern part of Jerusalem in 1967, and resumed until 2000, when Jordan was the custodian of Al-Aqsa mosque compound.

The 37-acre (15 -hectare) site has been at the heart of the current round of Israeli-Palestinian violence.

Israel has accused Palestinian officials of inciting violence by spreading the allegations, which it says are false.
