WAR & CONFLICT Four killed as Israeli-Palestinian violence continues Three Palestinian teenagers and an Israeli man die in alleged attacks in occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. 23 Nov 2015 18:49 GMT | War & Conflict, Middle East, Palestine, Israeli–Palestinian conflict, Israel Since October 1, more than 90 Palestinians and at least 16 Israelis have been killed [EPA] Three Palestinian teenagers have been shot dead and an Israeli has been stabbed to death during alleged attacks in the occupied West Bank and West Jerusalem, as violence between Palestinians and Israelis continues unabated. On Monday afternoon, Israeli forces shot and killed a 16-year-old Palestinian near the central West Bank city of Ramallah after stabbing an Israeli settler to death, the Israeli army said. The attack came just hours after 16-year-old Alaa Hashash was shot dead by Israeli troops as he reportedly tried to stab a soldier near the West Bank village of Huwwara, situated south of Nablus. In an earlier incident, Hadeel Awwad, 16, was shot dead by an Israeli security guard, while her 14-year-old cousin Norhan Awwad was seriously wounded by Israeli police as they allegedly attempted to stab two people near a central market in Jerusalem. Israeli media initially reported that two Israelis were wounded in the alleged attack, although a hospital official later said one of those injured was a 70-year-old Palestinian resident of Bethlehem, who had a light stabbing wound in his back. The other was a 27-year-old Israeli security guard who was shot in the hand by "friendly fire", the Palestinian Maan News Agency reported.
