Palestinian driver shot dead after ramming Israeli officer – Israeli police

Eleven Israelis have been killed in stabbings, shootings or other attacks. The Palestinians say it is the result of frustration after almost 50 years of Israeli occupation.

According to the AFP, Israeli border police had stormed the university the same day and the clashes erupted when students gathered to demonstrate at the foot of the controversial barrier.

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”. “Forces at the scene responded to the immediate threat and shot the assailant”, the army statement said.

The crossing, in the northernmost occupied West Bank, was closed by Israeli forces on Tuesday morning after a young Palestinian man was detained for allegedly carrying a knife and an improvised explosive device in his bag.

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.

Since the beginning of October, at least 74 Palestinians and nine Israelis have been killed. More than 20 bodies of stabbing suspects have not been returned to families for burial.

Al-Quds reported on Fatah members of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) who called on Abbas to call for convening a PLC meeting.

A Palestinian official blamed Israel for the escalating wave of violence in the region, citing alleged burning of children and violations of the sanctity of holy sites, United Nations officials said Wednesday.
