    Jerusalem – A Palestinian stabbed and wounded an Israeli teenager in Jerusalem on Sunday and was then shot dead by police, authorities said, just hours after a similar assault killed two people in the city.

    Violence has risen in East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank in recent weeks. Though not at the levels of previous Palestinian uprisings, or “Intifadas,” it has triggered concerns of a wider escalation.

    Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the victim was taken to hospital in moderate condition and that police men “saw the terrorist holding a knife, shot and neutralized him.”

    The attack happened less than 12 hours after a Palestinian stabbed two Israelis to death nearby in Jerusalem’s walled Old City, and wounded at least two others. The assailant, later claimed by Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad as a member, was shot dead by police.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to convene an emergency meeting with security officials later on Sunday, his office said, and a security cabinet meeting on Monday.

    On Thursday, an Israeli couple was shot dead while their four children were in the car in a suspected Palestinian drive-by attack near a West Bank Jewish settlement.

    Israeli police and Palestinians have also clashed frequently at Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque compound, Islam’s third-holiest site, and at other Arab parts of the city.

    Palestinians have said they fear that increasing visits by Jewish groups to the holy compound, revered by Jews as the site of Biblical temples, are eroding Muslim religious control there.

    Israel has pledged to maintain Muslim prayer rights at al-Aqsa, but, citing security concerns, has frequently banned young Muslim men from entering the area.

    Palestinians want East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, lands Israel captured in a 1967 Middle East war, for a future state. Peace talks collapsed in 2014.

    I wonder if this red haired twistedminded Rabbi can even comprehend what a catastrophe hes bringing upon innocent jews. Hes angering the angered bull and woe is the bull biting. How many jews must die in the hands of these murdurous Arabs for him to comprehend his henious actions of provocation??? Besides its absolutly forbidden Al p torah to ascend the holy har habayis. Not even his near death experience did it so I guess nothing will.

    AlterG, do you think you’re safer in the U.S.? You maybe since שומר פתאים השם!
    The טאטע אין הימל loves his ארץ הקדושה more than you love your U.S. of A.
    Rather, we believe that the time of this person’s תפקיד ended.

    Alter G – either your account was hacked, or you should just stay home for Succos. The entire Succos Davening is a rememberance of what was and our hope for what will be in Yerushalayim. Believe me you’re only a stones throw away from these same people that live in New York and have “rights” to protect them if they were to stab a yid on the street. I’d pick Kvish Achad any day over Coney Island Ave.

    I have to say. Alterg is absolutely right. Jerusalem is a dangerous place today as is all of Israel. Facts are facts.

    Yes we have anti zionists here in the u.s..The future for us in israel .When the majority of jews will live there, there will be peace and prosperity . Even the evangelical creeds believe that the place for jews is in israel and they are helping to settle jews there.
