LAST UPDATE: 09.30
Israeli police have killed a Palestinian man who was stabbed to death by police in the southern coastal city of Ashkelon this morning, police said.
“During an operation in Ashkelon, a police officer located a suspicious man and began checking his identity. But the man pulled out a knife and attacked the police officer, who responded immediately by shooting at him,” Israeli police said in a statement. The perpetrator, a Palestinian, was killed.
According to the police, the perpetrator of the attack was a resident of Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank. The police officer involved in the incident was “slightly injured” and was taken to a local hospital.
On Sunday, Israeli security forces killed a Palestinian woman who stabbed a police officer in the center of Hebron, home to about 1,000 Jewish settlers under tight security among 200,000 Palestinians.
The perpetrator “appeared at a border police checkpoint to stab a police officer”, who was “slightly injured”, the police had pointed out.
The same day, another Palestinian, a widow and mother of six, who was heading in a “suspicious” manner, according to the Israeli army, towards soldiers near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, was shot dead by security forces. In the end, no knife or other weapon was found in the woman’s possession.
The incidents come as Israeli security forces are conducting operations in the West Bank following the April 7 attack in Tel Aviv by a Palestinian from the Jenin camp in which three people were killed.
