  • Story Text: A Palestinian armed with a knife charged at Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank on Friday (July 28), the Israeli military said.
    The soldiers shot and killed the attacker, it said.
    After two weeks of snowballing tension and some of the worst violence in years, the main prayer session at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa's mosque ended more quietly than expected on Friday, with Israel setting an age-limit on who could attend.
    Tensions have been high at the venue, often erupting into major clashes, after two Israeli police officers were killed there, prompting Israel to install metal detectors at the entrance to the site and a subsequent Muslim boycott.
