A series of recent incidents in Israel resulted in the stabbing death of a 25-year-old Israeli woman on the occupied West Bank Monday. This weekend, Israeli police shot a young Arab man to death when he attacked them with a knife, after which Israeli Arabs threw stones at the police, reports the BBC. Earlier Monday, an incident at a train station in Tel Aviv resulted in the wounding of an Israeli soldier. The later incident occurred when a man attempted to run over people near the Alon Shvut Jewish settlement. He hit a concrete barrier, crashing his car, and then got out to attack people waiting at a bus stop. Two injured men were taken to the hospital.
