Palestinians hold ‘day of rage’; Israeli forces kill 4

Danon held up a diagram entitled “How to Stab a Jew”, suggesting it was the kind of thing being taught to Palestinian children.

“It is absolutely disgusting and shameful that the Obama administration not only refuses to stand strong with our ally in Israel, but actually has the audacity to claim that the Israelis are guilty of terrorism”, Zeldin said in a statement Thursday.

The incident occurred after Palestinians called for a “Friday of revolution” against Israel amid a wave of deadly unrest.

In Gaza, he said that a seventh Palestinian succumbed to his wounds on 10 October after clashing with the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) near the security barrier the previous day.

Joseph’s Tomb, which is situated inside a compound in the Palestinian refugee camp of Balata, in the northern city of Nablus, was set on fire overnight by Palestinians.

The recent knife attacks have confounded Israeli authorities.

In the past month, eight Israelis were killed in Palestinian attacks, majority stabbings, according to AP.

While Hamas has called for protests throughout the West Bank, reports say that the movement’s security officials in Gaza have tried to prevent protesters from reaching the border area. “We will find and arrest those who set the fire”, the military said. Wearing a T-shirt with the word “press” in large letters on the front and back, the man mingled with journalists standing near the soldiers, who were firing tear gas at stone-throwers.

Meanwhile, he detailed the recent attacks among Israelis and Palestinians, including stabbing attacks on Israeli civilians and the killings of Palestinians by security forces.

The State of Qatar confirmed that Israel’s continuing violations of worldwide law and global human rights law through its repressive practices and discriminatory policies in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Gaza in particular damage the various sectors and contribute to undermining the peace, stability and sustainable development.

Also Friday, a 20-year-old Palestinian was shot dead during clashes with Israeli forces near the Erez Crossing in Gaza, Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qedra said.

That would mean, in practice, restoring a status quo in which the U.S. guarantees Israel’s ability to occupy and colonize Palestinian land undisturbed.

Two were killed in confrontations with Israeli troops over the Gaza border, medical sources said.

Numerous Palestinian assailants are from east Jerusalem, the sector of the city captured by Israel in 1967 and sought by the Palestinians as a future capital. The tomb has become a popular prayer site in recent years among a few sects of religious Jews.

Homes of those accused of carrying out terror attacks will be demolished within days of any attack and their families, if residents of East Jerusalem and not Israeli citizens, will have their permanent residency status revoked, he said.
