Palestinian Woman Stabs Security Guard in West Back as Violence In The Region Increases


 

The region has seen a serious uptick in violence over the past few months. Earlier that day, a Palestinian attacker attempted to kill a group of Israelis by ramming them with his car. Four were wounded – the attacker was shot dead by paramilitary officers.

Since mid-September, 12 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks, most of them stabbings, while 74 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, including 47 who Israel said were involved in attacks or attempted attacks. The other 27 Palestinians were killed in clashes between stone-throwers and security forces.

In addition to stabbings, Palestinians have also carried out shooting attacks and used vehicles to attack Israelis.

The bloodshed was triggered by unrest at a major Jerusalem shrine revered by both Muslims and Jews, and quickly spread to Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza border.

Israel has blamed the violence on incitement by Palestinian political and religious leaders. Palestinians say the violence is rooted in a lack of hope for gaining independence after years of failed peace efforts.

Also Sunday, Israeli police said officers arrested an Israeli youth who attacked a human rights activist last month. Footage of the attack showed a masked youth attack Rabbi Arik Ascherman and threaten him with a knife as he and other Israeli peace activists helped Palestinians harvest their olive trees.

Police also said that an officer wounded in a Palestinian attack earlier this month had died of his wounds.
