Since the latest wave began on October 1, at least 62 Palestinians have been shot dead by Israelis in the West Bank and in Gaza.

The protesters were demonstrating against Israeli police who during the unrest have entered the hospital to seize files related to Palestinians wounded in clashes.
Haj Amin al-Husseini was the grand mufti of Jerusalem in pre-state Israel when the pamphlet was published.
A video of the incident gripped social media as a wave of violence took hold in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
The West Bank’s largest city has become a focal point of Israeli-Palestinian violence, with near-daily deadly confrontations erupting at Israeli army checkpoints that guard enclaves of Jewish settlers in the once-thriving center of Hebron.
Approximately eleven Israelis have been killed in stabbings and shootings.
Four stone-throwing youths were hurt in Hebron when dozens of them clashed with security forces.
Heightened security measures was “absolutely” the cause of the reduction in attacks in Jerusalem, Micky Rosenfeld, spokesperson for the Israeli police, told The Media Line. The Palestinians say it is the result of frustration stemming from almost 50 years of Israeli occupation, repeated failed peace efforts and a lack of hope in gaining independence anytime soon.
Local Palestinians claimed that Eldad’s accusations of incitement to violence were “slanderous” and that they hindered their ability “to defend the Palestinian people”, said the Jerusalem Post.
Palestinian foreign ministry on Thursday accused the Israeli government for practicing “organized terrorism” against the Palestinian people.
“Snipers use the bullets as a matter of course in many places throughout the West Bank, including in circumstances where lives are not in danger and which are very far from those in which live fire is permitted”, it said. In the end politics will play a role – but it probably won’t occur soon in a world that is preoccupied with other crises in the Middle East. The refusal to even acknowledge colonial violence, and in return, affirm the Palestinians’ right to anti-colonial struggle invalidates any political hypothesis disseminated by the European Union and the UN.
World leaders want to revive Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that collapsed in April 2014, to avoid a deeper slide into violence that many fear could lead to a third Palestinian Intifada.
In response, Netanyahu’s office later that night put out a statement saying that “non-Muslims visit the Temple Mount [Al-Aqsa compound]” but are not permitted to pray there. Muslims call it the Ibrahimi Mosque, after Abraham, one of the patriarchs.
Jewish groups refer to the site as the Temple Mount and their increased incursions into the mosque compound have triggered Palestinian protests across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. Israel denies such claims.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Justice Ministry said an Arab woman who was shot after brandishing a knife at a busy bus station did not intend to carry out an attack. The letter, dated 20 October 2015, requests action from the global community in restraining Israel and its unsustainable “occupation and colonialist enterprise”. However, for the sake of understanding the Zohar, the Druze policeman was not included in the number of righteous Jews killed in the attack.
