The Israeli army announced yesterday that two Israelis were injured in a run-over operation at the entrance to the Eliezer settlement. "A preliminary investigation into the incident indicates that an attacker ran over two civilians," the military said in a statement. The police explained that a policeman was returning to his home after the completion of his work saw the attack and saw the attacker trying to get out of the car «shot him» and succeeded in «neutralization». She added that the driver was driving very quickly and turned towards a 17-year-old settler and a 19-year-old settler.
Following the run-off, Hamas warned of Palestinian "anger" following the Israeli attacks in occupied Jerusalem. The movement's spokesman, Abdullatif al-Qanou ', said that "the increasing anger in our people, and the ongoing stabbings and run over in occupied Jerusalem and the West Bank, in response to the repeated storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the ongoing crimes of occupation and demolition and Judaization projects.
He added that «the continuation of this organized terrorism in the city of Jerusalem and the West Bank will blow the region again in the face of the Israeli occupation and herds of settlers».
Two Palestinian boys stabbed an Israeli policeman in the Old City of Jerusalem yesterday, but Israeli police returned fire. A video broadcast on Israeli television and posted on social media showed two boys approaching a police officer at one of the gates of the Old City, each with a knife and stabbing the policeman before being shot by several colleagues. The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed the death of one of the boys, Naseem Aburomi.
On the other hand, the American representative of Palestinian origin Rachida Tlaib, yesterday, rejected the offer made by the Israeli authorities to allow her to visit her elderly grandmother in the occupied West Bank, considering that the conditions imposed by Israel on the visit "unfair."
"I have decided that my grandmother's visit under these unfair conditions is incompatible with everything I believe in - fighting racism, injustice and injustice," she said in a tweet on Twitter.
The Israeli authorities have decided to allow the visit of US Democratic Representative Rachida Tlaib for "humanitarian reasons" to visit her elderly grandmother in the occupied West Bank, after she made a commitment to respect the conditions of the visit.
Interior Minister Arieh Deri's decision to allow Tlaib to enter for a "humanitarian visit to her grandmother" came a day after Israel announced it would block Taleb and another Democratic deputy because they support boycott efforts because of its occupation and policy toward the Palestinians.
But the ministry said in a statement that the decision to allow it a "humanitarian visit" was made after Talib pledged in a letter to "respect the conditions imposed by Israel."
In the aftermath of the run-off, Hamas warns of Palestinian "anger" following the Israeli attacks in occupied Jerusalem.
