Gilad Erdan, Israel’s security minister, said suspected attackers should be killed so that potential assailants “know that they will not survive the attack that they were going to carry out”.

If seemingly random and unpredictable attacks on Israelis were to continue for a significant period of time, a few Palestinians feel that this just might cause enough Israelis to conclude that perpetual occupation and oppression are not, in fact, the best of all possible worlds for them, and that the quality of their lives would be enhanced by ending the occupation and permitting the Palestinian people to enjoy the same freedom and human dignity – whether in two states or in one – that Jewish Israelis demand for themselves.

A 19-year-old Israeli was shot in the upper body on Friday in North Hebron. The crash occurred at the Jewish settlement of Tapuach in the West Bank, an Israeli police spokesperson told Al Jazeera TV. They included hysterical conflation of Palestinians with Nazis by political figures and rabbis alike, and Israel’s adoption of German tactics for subjugating the Warsaw ghetto – tactics subsequently magnified in Gaza.

To get to work, Haikal said he passes five Israeli checkpoints in 500 yards.

But videos of numerous incidents show that Palestinians were killed when they posed no immediate danger.

The escalation in Hebron has even affected schools directly, with a few schools reporting raids on their premises by soldiers in an attempt to detain stone-throwers, while others have reported students being taken to hospital for tear gas inhalation as the Israeli Army fires gas in and around school buildings.

Medics from the Palestinian Red Crescent who initially attended at the scene said the woman was shot 15 times. Most were stabbings, but in several cases, Palestinians used cars as weapons by ramming them into people.

Palestinian-Israeli peace talks have been frozen since the end of March of 2014, after nine month of U.S.-brokered talks failed to achieve progress to end the decade-long conflict.

The spokesperson of the Presidency Nabil Abu Rudeineh said in a statement published by the Palestinian official news agency Wafa that the position of President Abbas is clear. The IDF prevented a fourth attack by shooting a terrorist dead. According to reports, the woman’s husband was himself a terrorist who was killed during the second intifada. “The current wave of terrorism has not been directed by any organization, but rather is directly inspired by the intensive incitement accompanying it”. It is no surprise that many in the worldwide community are rushing to endorse the false narrative of the Palestinian leadership.

In the past two months, there have been near-daily Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers. It is a world of lies, fabrications and deception aimed at demonizing Israel and murdering Jews.

Palestinian shops and other businesses were closed, their owners denied access. The camera appears to be attached to the helmet of a soldier who gestures at al-Sharawi, though it is not clear whether he intends her to pull over to the side of the road or to pass.
