Knife-Wielding Palestinian shot in West Bank

According to the report, after Kerry failed to make progress on the Palestinian front, Netanyahu convened the cabinet to discuss recently acquired information that the Palestinians were planning new processes against Israel in the diplomatic arena.

A Palestinian rammed a auto into a group of Israelis in the occupied West Bank today, injuring five of them, the army said, the latest in a series of such attacks. The Palestinian health ministry gave his age as 51.

On Thursday, Israeli soldiers raided the village of Katane, near the Palestinian city of Ramallah, in what the army said was a search for suspected militants and weapons.

Ninety-seven Palestinians have been killed in violence since October 1, including an Israeli Arab. Since mid-September, 19 Israelis have died in Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings and shootings.

An Israeli officer told bus station guards that the buses were confiscated because they transport people to the military checkpoints at the entrance of the Nablus to clash with Israeli soldiers. “We intend to build a more massive fence similar to the fence on the Egyptian border”. The attacker was shot at the scene. The Palestinians claim all of the West Bank for part of a future state. One of the boys, an eighteen year old from Abu Sneineh was taken to the police station, while the global activists continued to monitor the events and ask for the age of the younger child who was still outside, detained by Israeli forces.

Israeli police said that following a auto accident in the area a Palestinian man “walked out his vehicle with a knife in his hand and was shot dead”.

The spokesperson added that the soldiers used a Ruger rifle with 0.22 caliber, used by security forces to disperse riots, considered less lethal than ordinary weapons used by the forces.

“They [the Israelis] are committing a strategic mistake” he said. Both the officer and the official spoke on condition of anonymity because the offer has not been made public.

Netanyahu also said there would be no settlement freeze, and Israel would only okay building plans for the Palestinians if the USA recognizes Israel’s construction in the settlement blocs, according to the official.

That is at odds with the Israeli government’s view that the main driver is incitement by the Palestinian leadership and weak security enforcement by President Mahmoud Abbas. The Palestinians say it’s rooted in frustrations over Israel’s almost half a century-long occupation.
