Tensions continue to boil over in recent months as Palestinians persist in their violent protests against Israel’s occupation and an increase in Israeli incursions into occupied East Jerusalem- the third holiest site for Muslims.

The latest wave of attacks witnessed the killing of two Palestinians who were both shot dead after a stabbing attack near Jerusalem’s old city.

According to Israeli police, the two Palestinians attacked Israelis at Jaffa Gate, one of the main entrances to Jerusalem. Reports say two of the three Israelis who were left seriously injured in the attack died later of their wounds – one from stray police bullets.

At least 131 Palestinians have been killed in the violence, since October 1 according to the Palestinian health ministry.
The Israeli branch of the International Red Cross says 20 Israelis, one US citizen, and one Eritrean have been killed over the same period.
