Five Stabbing Attacks Occur in Israel on Shabbos

Palestinian terrorists carried out five stabbing attacks in Jerusalem and the West Bank on Shabbos, as a month-long outburst of violence showed no signs of abating. At least four of the attackers were killed.

From VIN News:

The unrest came despite new security measures that have placed troops and checkpoints around Palestinian neighborhoods in east Jerusalem.

In Jerusalem, where most of the violence has taken place, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said a 16-year-old Palestinian drew a knife on officers early Saturday when they asked for identification after a bystander said he was behaving suspiciously. She said the officers shot and killed the teenager after he tried to stab them. The incident took place near where two Palestinian men boarded a bus earlier in the week and began shooting and stabbing passengers, killing two.

Later, another assailant tried to stab a policeman on the outskirts of Jerusalem, but struck his bulletproof vest and did not injure him. The assailant was shot and wounded. Police said when an officer approached to treat the attacker, he pulled out a second knife and attempted to attack him. He was then shot and killed.

The other three stabbing attacks Saturday took place in the West Bank city of Hebron, a frequent flashpoint where a few hundred Jewish settlers live in close proximity to tens of thousands of Palestinians.

      1. Surveillance cameras obviously work on Shabbos.

      2. Most workers in the Israeli media unfortunately work on Shabbos.

      3. Reuters are not Jews, so they should work on Shabbos.
