“Israeli
media claimed on Tuesday that the two Palestinians had been killed
following attempted knife attacks. Earlier in the day, Israeli forces
shot and killed another Palestinian youth during clashes along the
border in the besieged Gaza Strip amid intensification of violence
against Palestinians. According to Palestinian media, the man was
killed while five other Gazans sustained injuries.”
“Also
on Tuesday, Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinians in the occupied
West Bank during renewed clashes between the two sides. The fresh
violence comes as UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday made an unannounced
visit to al-Quds (Jerusalem) in a bid to calm the rising tensions in
the occupied territories.”
“The
latest wave of tensions was triggered by the Israeli regime’s
imposition in August of restrictions on the entry of Palestinian
worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque. Palestinians are also angry at
increasing violence by illegal Israeli settlers, who frequently storm
al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam after Masjid al-Haram
in Mecca and Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina. They say the Tel Aviv regime
seeks to change the status quo of the compound. The Israeli regime
has rejected a proposal for international observers to be deployed at
the al-Aqsa compound. The Palestinian Ministry of Health says that
nearly 50 Palestinians have been killed across the occupied
territories since the beginning of October. Eight Israelis are also
said to have died.”
