My Way News - Israel struggles to contain wave of stabbing attacks
My Way News reports: "Unrest that erupted several weeks ago at Jerusalem's most sensitive
holy site spread Friday to Gaza in the form of deadly border clashes
with Palestinian protesters, as Israeli security forces struggled to
contain a wave of Palestinian stabbing attacks against civilians and
soldiers. [...] Recent days have seen a series of attacks by young Palestinians wielding household items like kitchen knives, screwdrivers and even a vegetable peeler. The youths had no known links to armed groups who have targeted Israeli soldiers and civilians at random, complicating security efforts. [...] The latest unrest began about three weeks ago, when Palestinians repeatedly barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City [the Temple Mount, Ed.], hurling stones, firebombs and fireworks at police."
