Two Israelis have been seriously wounded in stabbing attacks that injured four people in two Israeli cities.
The two attacks – which occurred within hours of each other on Monday in Rishon LeZion near Tel Aviv and later in the coastal city Netanya – further reduced the prospect that weeks of violence between Israelis and Palestinians is coming to an end.
In the first incident a 19-year old Palestinian from the West Bank city of Hebron, which has featured heavily in recent incidents, attacked and wounded several people, including an 80-year-old woman, in a stabbing spree in central Israel before being arrested.
That in turn came several hours after Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian who they said tried to stab a soldier at a northern West Bank checkpoint.
