Two Israelis die following Jaffa Gate stabbing attack

Two Israelis died on Wednesday in a Palestinian stabbing attack near Jerusalem’s Old City, while assailants were shot dead on site by police.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said there were two attackers, one who was fatally shot at the scene and one who died at a hospital.
Palestinian security sources said the alleged attacker’s body was being held by Israeli authorities, and they had not yet been able to identify him.
Witnesses said they saw one of the victims struggling with his attacker on the ground as he was stabbed multiple times.
Israeli police said they were investigating whether the actions at the wedding, which Channel 10 says took place in Jerusalem last week, constitute an incitement to violence.
Some observers attribute the recent uptick in violence to a July arson attack in the West Bank by suspected Jewish settlers that killed an 18-month-old Palestinian child and his parents.
Since October, 118 Palestinians, 19 Israelis and an American have died. She said the assailants were from the occupied West Bank and local mosques mourned their deaths. Officials said the militants operated an explosives laboratory in Abu Dis in the West Bank and planned to carry out attacks in Israel.
Their detentions have sparked anger among far-right Israelis who have held several protests, including outside the home of a judge, while lawyers have alleged torture of suspects by the domestic security agency, Shin Bet.

The Shin Bet, in a rare public response, denied on Thursday it had tortured any of the suspects and said such “lies” were being disseminated in an effort to undermine the investigation. There was no immediate comment from Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip.
