Israeli soldiers shot dead three Palestinians in separate incidents in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem on Friday, Israeli police and the military said, as a wave of heightened violence persisted into its fifth month.
In Jerusalem, a Palestinian man allegedly stabbed two Israeli police officers outside the walled Old City before they opened fire and killed him, police said. An Al Jazeera video of the incident shows Israeli forces repeatedly shooting the man after he was already down.
A few hours later, in the West Bank, a Palestinian man allegedly tried to ram his car into a group of Israeli soldiers who then shot him dead, the military said.
A third Palestinian man was killed by Israeli soldiers in a clash in the West Bank city of Bethlehem, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. An Israeli military spokeswoman said the man was armed with an automatic weapon and fired on soldiers during a protest. The Palestinian Red Crescent said Israeli forces prevented one of its ambulances from reaching the scene, Ma’an News Agency reported.
