Three Israelis have been wounded, two of them seriously, in
back-to-back shootings, the Israeli military has said. The attacks
signal an escalation after a series of stabbings and widespread
stone-throwing by Palestinians.
Earlier, Israeli troops shot and killed a 73-year-old Palestinian woman to prevent what the military said was an attempt to wound them with her car. Her son denied that she had tried to harm anyone, and that she was on her way to lunch with her sister when she was killed.
All three incidents took place in Hebron, the West Bank’s largest city, which has been the main area of friction in recent weeks. Hundreds of combat troops guard about 850 Jewish settlers in the center of Hebron where they live amid tens of thousands of Palestinians.
