3 Palestinians killed after Israeli woman is stabbed to death
Israeli security forces revealed that a young Israeli woman was stabbed to death by a Palestinian, who was among three assailants to be shot dead following separate attacks on Sunday.
The latest flare-up of violence is coming ahead of a visit to the region by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
The Palestinian attacker was shot and killed on Sunday afternoon by soldiers nearby after he had seriously wounded a 21 year-old Israeli with a knife in the West Bank area, the military said.

The attack occurred at the Gush Etzion junction near Jerusalem, the scene of multiple Palestinian attacks against civilians and security forces over the past two months.
“The young woman was stabbed numerous times in the head, chest and the area of the heart. Despite attempts by medics to save her, she succumbed to her wounds.” Dr. Ofer Merin of the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem said.
