Palestinian Man Shot Dead after Alleged Attack in East Jerusalem

The EU published new guidelines on November 11 for labelling products made in Israeli settlements, a move Brussels said was technical but which Israel branded “discriminatory” and damaging to peace efforts with the Palestinians.

In October alone, just short of 1,000 Palestinians, including 147 children, had been detained by Israeli forces, according to Addameer.

Military engineers prepared the home of Fadi Hasibm, in the village of Bir Nabala, who was shot dead after wounding two Israeli soldiers in a car-ramming attack.

The Palestinian ambassador to Ethiopia and the African Union, Nasir Abu Jaish, called on the worldwide community to take responsibility to end the suffering of Palestinians from forced deportation and incarceration of by Israeli forces.

The man is said to have slightly wounded one of the officers before being shot.

Attempts to ease the tensions, including a visit by US Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday, have so far proved unsuccessful. Many of those killed have been teenagers.

Talab Jaabari, owner of the station closed on Sunday, said soldiers arrived and seized “all the material and caused signficant damage to the station”. Throughout the unrest, Palestinian security forces have maintained a longstanding system of security cooperation to help contain the violence.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “ordered suspension of diplomatic contacts with the institutions of the European Union on this issue”, a foreign ministry statement said. The army says two Israeli soldiers were injured in the attack. Palestinians also accuse Israel of using excessive force in suppressing violence. Human rights groups say such demolitions amount to collective punishment, with family members being forced to suffer for the acts of others.

Soon thereafter, a 30-year-old Israeli resident, originally from the Philippines, was stabbed in her back in central Jerusalem by a 17-year-old Palestinian.
