Palestinian protests amid wave of stabbings

Israelis and Palestinians buried their dead on Friday after one of the deadliest days in nearly eight weeks of lone wolf violence that is challenging Israeli security thinking.

Dozens of Palestinians were meanwhile wounded by Israeli fire in clashes in the occupied West Bank and along the Gaza Strip border.

Three Israelis, an American and a Palestinian were killed on Thursday in two attacks by Palestinians in Tel Aviv and the West Bank. Both assailants were arrested.

The killings came after several days of apparent calm, shattering hopes that the wave of violence was subsiding.

Violence since the start of October has killed at least 86 people on the Palestinian side, including one Arab Israeli, 15 Israelis, an American and an Eritrean.

Israeli security officials quietly admit they are preparing for months of attacks, and analysts say new checks will be needed to prevent further bloodshed. (AFP)
