READ MORE: There has been a sharp increase in Israeli-Palestinian violence, with a series of recent clashes and attacks. Palestinians blame U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan, which many say favors Israel.
Some Israeli soldiers were at a popular Jerusalem entertainment area just before they were to be sworn in at the Western Wall when a Palestinian driving a car drove into them, injuring 12. Israeli police said the attacker’s car was found nearby but he has not been apprehended. He is described as a 24-year-old Palestinian from east Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, in the West Bank town of Jenin, Israeli troops shot and killed a 19-year-old Palestinian security cadet under unclear circumstances. The soldiers were there to demolish a house of another man who committed a terrorist attack.
Israel says it is sending more troops to flashpoints and hopes calm will be restored in the area quickly.
