Stabbing attempt near Jerusalem, attacker killed

One stabbing and two attempted attacks took place in Jerusalem on Tuesday, one by two young boys. The others were killed in violent clashes with security forces throughout the West Bank and on the Gaza border. Israeli forces have killed at least 72 Palestinians, including 43 who Israel says were carrying out or about to carry out attacks with knives, guns or cars.

The guards shot at him and wounded him critically, and the Hadassah Har Hatzofim hospital in Jerusalem announced his death a short while after his hospitalization.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas caused an uproar in Israel when he erroneously claimed in a televised speech that Israelis had “summarily executed” Manasra.

Israeli medics evacuate a wounded Palestinian minor, who police said stabbed an Israeli security guard, in Pisgat Zeev, which lies on occupied land that Israel annexed to Jerusalem after the 1967 Middle East war, November 10, 2015.

They left the mosque’s carpet burned and the holy site in ruins, leading to clashes that have brought Muslim and Christian Palestinian activists from Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank into the streets in protest. One of the officers shouts at him, “Is this you, this person?” as the teen cries and says he doesn’t remember.

On Monday evening a video appeared on Palestinian websites showing what appeared to be him being questioned by Israeli security officers.

West Bank and East Jerusalem residents (43%) were also less likely than Gaza residents (65%) to describe relations between Israelis and Palestinians as “very bad”.

In September of 2000, a visit to Al-Aqsa by controversial Israeli leader Ariel Sharon – accompanied by a large delegation and hundreds of Israeli riot police – sparked what later became known as the “Second Intifada”, a years-long popular Palestinian uprising against the Israeli occupation. The worldwide community opposes settlements as illegal or illegitimate and says they hinder efforts for Palestinian statehood.

“We gather today to take a decision about what we can do to stop these crimes and violations”, the UAE minister said.

They shot and wounded one of the boys first, Lerner said.

It is not known who released the video, accessible only to those involved in the investigation and to lawyers. “You can not terrify or threaten or tempt for the goal of achieving a confession”, she said.
