TEL AVIV (Sputnik) – A Palestinian man in the West Bank’s Kiryat Arba settlement was fatally shot earlier after stabbing an officer. In central Jerusalem, a Palestinian man was arrested after stabbing a 14-year-old Israeli.
"Female terrorist attempted to stab security guard. She was shot, police units at the scene," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld tweeted on the latest incident, in the city of Afula.
Early on Friday, an Israeli man was arrested after stabbing two Palestinians and two Bedouin Arabs in the southern city of Dimona. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack.
The recent spate of attacks follows last month's clashes in the East Jerusalem Temple Mount complex, which houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque, considered the third holiest site in Islam.
