Three Palestinians have been shot dead in separate attacks after they
allegedly tried to stab Israelis in the occupied West Bank and East
Jerusalem, the latest incidents in a wave of violence that has escalated
this month.
Aljazeera reports:
In Hebron, a Jewish settler killed a Palestinian man
early on Saturday after the Palestinian allegedly tried to stab him.
Israeli police said the man was shot dead before he could harm the
Israeli. Witnesses disputed the Israeli police version of the event,
saying the incident looked more like an attack by the settler on the
Palestinian.
In another incident in Hebron, a Palestinian woman was shot by
Israeli forces after allegedly stabbing an Israeli policewoman in the
hand. Violent clashes broke out between Palestinian protesters and
Israeli forces following the killings. Earlier on Saturday, a
Palestinian man was shot and killed in East Jerusalem, Israeli police
said, after allegedly attempting to stab an Israeli citizen.
Amid tit-for-tat attacks between Israelis and Palestinians, the
ongoing streak of violence has left dead at least 42 Palestinians –
including suspected attackers, as well as unarmed protesters and
bystanders – and seven Israelis.
