Palestinian assailant killed after ramming Jerusalem bus station, wounding 9

Israeli leaders have accused Mr Abbas and other Palestinian leaders of inciting the violence with incendiary rhetoric.

Israeli officials rejected the charges by the B’Tselem group.

Since the beginning of October, Israeli forces have killed 112 Palestinians, 67 of whom Israel says were assailants or had been caught on camera carrying out assaults.

Palestinian residents of Qalandiya rioted against the soldiers in the wake of the incidents, according to reports.

As far as coordination with Israel, 64% were in favor of forgoing the presence of Palestinian police in areas B and C of the West Bank if that meant there would be an end to security coordination with Israel.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, ordered a new multi-million pound programme of reinforcing bus shelters in response to the attack.

Many families are forced to demolish their homes with their own hands to avoid the high cost of paying for Israeli government bulldozers.

The United Nations on Tuesday called the wave of Palestinian terror attacks in recent months “unacceptable”, but criticized Israel for the “excessive use of force” in its self-defense against terrorism.

An Israeli police spokesperson could not be contacted, and the reason for the detention is unknown.

WAFA correspondent said an Israeli police force accompanied by heavy machinery broke into Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and proceeded to demolish the house of Dina Diab, a local Palestinian, under the pretext of construction without a permit.

However, Erdan had warned in an interview last week that “every terrorist who goes to carry out an attack should know that he will likely not survive the attack”. It said most of the fatalities did not even pose a threat to the troopers’ life. Police officers spokeswoman Luba Samri stated bystanders shot Abed Almohsin Hassoneh, 21, from the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina.

On the Gaza border, an explosive device was detonated Wednesday, targeting a military patrol, and Israeli soldiers responded by firing mortar shells toward the site of the attack, the Israeli military said.

The Middle East peace process, stalled since early 2014, continues to frustrate Palestinians with its lack of progress, while Israel continues to expand settlements in dozens of enclaves it has built on land seized in the Six-Day War of 1967.
