Israeli forces Thursday shot dead an unidentified Palestinian man near the illegal settlement of Adam, located on the land of Jaba town, northwest of Jerusalem.

Teens and adults must talk more on abusive relationships and mental illness, survey finds The attacker, identified by the Israeli military as a Palestinian man, was shot and killed by other guards in the area.

The Palestinians killed since October include at least 26 children, the ministry of health said on its official Facebook page.

Two other Palestinians were killed in separate incidents, including an attack by a motorist on Israeli troops, with one soldier lightly wounded.

Police say three Israelis were seriously injured in the incident Wednesday, including one who later died from his wounds and another who died from a wound apparently from police gunfire aimed at subduing the attackers.

Israeli forces were said to have entered the camp to arrest three suspects, local officials said.

Both of the Israeli victims in the first incident were left with moderate wounds, Israeli police said.

The wave of violent tension between the two sides broke out in early October in response to Israeli measures against al-Aqsa Mosque compound in east Jerusalem and against the Israeli settlers’ assaults on the mosques and homes of residents of villages close to Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

The attack was the latest in a continuing wave of violence that has gripped the region for more than three months. Israeli fire has killed 124 Palestinians, 85 of them said by Israel to be attackers while the rest were killed in clashes with Israeli forces.

Palestinians have grown frustrated with Israel’s occupation, the complete lack of progress in peace efforts and their own fractured leadership.

Also Thursday, police said they were investigating the “many serious offenses” seen in a video of extremist Jews aired Wednesday on Israeli Channel 10 TV.

The video, broadcast by an Israeli news programme, has spread online and drawn strong condemnation from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called the images “shocking” and called participants “a danger to Israeli society”.

Among the drivers of the bloodshed was a July 31 arson attack by suspected Jewish zealots that killed a Palestinian toddler and his parents, and Israel’s failure to crack the case.

An Israeli army spokeswoman reported that “hundreds of Palestinians” took part in the clashes.
