Palestinian killed after alleged knife attack in Jenin
In an escalation of its crackdown on Palestinians, Israel has reintroduced administrative detention, incarceration without charge or trial, for children.

“It shows that as a Palestinian lawyer, I am part of my people, part of the Palestinian wish for liberation”, said Ajaj, 26, speaking in an interview Saturday at a rooftop restaurant owned by his well-to-do family in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
In the second incident, a 71-year-old man was stabbed and seriously injured in Netanya in the early evening, reportedly by a 23-year old Palestinian from the West Bank city of Tulkarem who was shot and arrested. Instead, Arafat scorned the Israeli offers, apparently preferring to keep his people in a state of perpetual unrest.
At least 67 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since October 1.
A Palestinian stabbed and wounded a 70-year-old man in northern Israel before being shot by officers, police said Monday just hours after another Palestinian knifed several people, including an 80-year-old woman, in a stabbing spree near Tel Aviv, the latest attacks in more than a month of violence. Ten Israelis have also been killed during the time.
But the bodies of most other Palestinians killed amid dozens of knife attacks against Israelis since October 3 are still in Israeli control. Israeli forces on Friday imposed new restrictions on Palestinians in the Israeli-controlled center of Hebron, the largest Palestinian city in the West Bank, residents said.
Israel says the barrier, which stretches inside the West Bank, is necessary for security, while Palestinians brand it an “apartheid wall”. One of them was killed, and the other critically wounded.
Since mid-September, there has been series of Palestinian attacks associated with tensions over a sensitive Jerusalem holy site. Asides the near-daily attacks, violent demonstrations have erupted in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, with Palestinian stone-throwers clashing with Israeli troops.
To suggest that Israel has not and does not want peace with the Palestinians is categorically false. It gives the illusion that Palestinians are governing themselves and absolves the Israeli government from any blame.
Reciprocal incitement and hatred between the Israeli and Palestinian camps has been a permanent fixture on social media for a few years now. Abbas has repeatedly argued that armed attacks counter Palestinian interests and has instructed his security forces to try to prevent them, but has not condemned the recent stabbings in deference to popular opinion. Both were immediately rejected by Palestinian leaders Yasser Arafat in 2000 and Abbas in 2008.

The sad truth, however, is that for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to once again receive serious diplomatic attention from the worldwide community, a third intifada does need to break out. “We believe that access to education should not be infringed upon and we stand in solidarity with Palestine and its resistance to this occupation”.
