  • Story Text: Knife-wielding Palestinians killed a woman and wounded three other Israelis, including a soldier, in two separate attacks on Monday (November 10), police said, in widening violence stoked by tensions over a Jerusalem holy site.
    A police spokesman said a Palestinian stormed out of a car to stab three people outside the Jewish settlement of Alon Shvut in the West Bank, killing the woman. The attacker was shot and wounded by a guard.
    Earlier, a Palestinian stabbed and critically wounded a soldier at a Tel Aviv train station, bringing bloodshed to the Israeli commercial capital that has largely been spared since a Palestinian revolt ended in 2005. Police identified the suspected assailant, who was arrested, as a resident of the Palestinian town of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
    Israeli-Palestinian tensions have festered over access to a Jerusalem compound housing Islam's third holiest site and where biblical Jewish temples once stood.
    Stone-throwing protests have also erupted in several Arab towns in Israel since Saturday, when police killed an Arab youth who assaulted them.
    There was no immediate Palestinian comment after the attack in the West Bank.
    Five days ago, a Palestinian rammed his car into pedestrians in central Jerusalem, the second such incident of its kind in as many weeks, killing two Israelis. Police shot the driver dead.
