New violence erupted this morning in the northern part of the occupied West Bank between Palestinians and Israeli forces, while in Israel a Palestinian who tried to stab an Israeli policeman was killed.
For the fourth day in a row, the Israeli army has been conducting operations in the Palestinian city of Jenin, home to two Palestinians who recently launched attacks in Israel.
Clashes between residents and Israeli forces broke out again early this morning.
Four Palestinians were arrested in Jenin and the nearby city of Al-Yamoun, where Israeli soldiers used live ammunition and tear gas, as well as tear gas, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
These operations in the northern part of the West Bank are carried out after four attacks that have taken place in Israel since March 22. The first two were Israeli Arabs affiliated with the Islamic State and the second two were Palestinians of Jenin descent. A total of 14 people were killed in these attacks.
During the same period, 15 Palestinians, including perpetrators of attacks, were killed by Israeli security forces.
This morning, Israeli police killed a Palestinian man who had just attacked a police officer with a knife in the southern coastal city of Ashkelon, 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 police, the perpetrator came from Hebron, where about 1,000 Jewish settlers live under strict security measures among 200,000 Palestinians.
On Sunday, Israeli security forces killed a Palestinian woman who stabbed a police officer in the center of Hebron.
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.
“We will not allow our enemy to stop our lives,” Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was quoted as saying in Tel Aviv on Monday night, from the site of an attack in which three Israelis were killed four days ago.
“We will continue to live our lives and at the same time we will fight where they are (our enemies),” he assured.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is “watching with deep concern the escalation of violence,” his spokesman Stefan Dizaric said yesterday.
