Palestinians have so far not used bombs – a hallmark of their second uprising, from 2000 to 2005 – in the current violence, which Israeli leaders have described as a “wave of terror” falling short of an organised “Intifada”.
Benjamin Netanyahu says Sunday that the movement is a part of the “systematic, untrue incitement” against Israel that has sparked recent violence. Still, he voiced support for the protesters who have clashed with Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa mosque, hurling stones, firebombs and fireworks. The father and two-year-old son were injured in the attack, Palestinian sources said. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the police officer noticed the woman driving suspiciously and motioned her to stop.
On Saturday, Jordan’s parliament condemned “the crimes committed by Israeli forces in the West Bank and Gaza”, accusing Israel of “state terrorism” and “sapping the rights of the Palestinians on their own lands”. A spokesman for the Gaza Health Ministry said four other people were injured in the collapse, including a 5-year-old boy. Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted the rocket.
Another youth chimed in: “We’ve tried negotiations and it didn’t work”.
After the report was released, 3 other Palestinians have been killed: Isaac Badran, is the tenth Palestinian to be killed in the last 24 hours. Health officials later confirmed the man had died of his wounds.
In the West Bank, one person was killed Friday by police. At least seven protesters were wounded at the same demonstration.

Thousands filled the streets as the body of the 19 year old boy was carried through the masses up to the martyr’s cemetery which is the same place where 18 year old unarmed Palestinian female student Hadeel Hashlamoun was shot to death at the checkpoint yawning into segregated Shuhada Street.
Following Sunday’s funeral of one of those killed, hundreds of young Palestinians approached the border with Israel and began demonstrating.
She exited the vehicle and the explosives inside it detonated, wounding her seriously and the officer lightly.
One person was shot and transferred to a local hospital for treatment, according Samri, the Israeli police spokeswoman. Israel’s Magen David Adom ambulance service said she was in critical condition.
The air was thick with black smoke from burning tires.
In an earlier incident, a 16-year-old Palestinian stabbed two Israelis and left them slightly wounded. He enjoys widespread respect among all Palestinian factions and, despite being held in an Israeli prison, is often mentioned as a potential candidate to succeed to Mahmoud Abbas as president of the Palestinian Authority. No further details were immediately available, authorities said.
Among those, 535 children were killed directly by Israeli attacks during the 2014 offensive on Gaza, almost 70 percent of whom were under the age of 12. No injuries or damage was reported.
