Palestinian killed after attempting to stab Israeli policeman
The military identified one of the returned dead as Issam Thawabta, who was killed in November after he fatally stabbed Hadar Buchris, a 21-year-old Israeli woman, at the Gush Etzion junction south of Jerusalem. Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Kidra says, Wahdan was killed Friday during clashes with Israeli soldiers on the Israeli border with east of Gaza City.

An eyewitness said the Palestinian was sitting near the Bab al-Jadid when mounted officers ordered him to stand up, and after he did so, and raised his arms in the air, they fired several rounds at his legs, and shot him in the chest after he fell onto the ground, the Maan News Agency said. No Israelis were injured, it said.
Israel’s army says its forces have shot dead two Palestinians who allegedly stabbed and wounded a soldier in the West Bank.
Sunday’s attack was the third in 10 days at the Huwwara checkpoint and followed another alleged attempted attack at Jerusalem’s central bus station on Sunday, in which the Palestinian suspect was arrested. Most of the others have been killed in clashes with security forces. According to a police spokeswoman, policemen approached a man who drew their suspicions just outside the Old City for following a pair of Jewish worshippers. A security guard overpowered and captured the assailant. “The terrorist is under arrest”, a police statement said.
The Palestinians disputed the Israeli military’s account of the incident.
The latest round of US-brokered peace talks collapsed in April 2014.
Tensions have dramatically escalated since the Israeli regime’s imposition of restrictions in August on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

Israeli leaders says Islamist groups who call for the destruction of Israel have played a major role in inciting the recent violence. The man’s identity wasn’t published, but police said he was a Palestinian from the Ramallah area who had entered Israel illegally.
