before the death of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, a resurgence of tensions for several weeks

Just a week ago, rescue workers and police were on the scene of the sixth attack against Israelis in two months in Elad. Three people were killed there, and four others were stabbed. The manhunt ends with the arrest of two Palestinian suspects. Committed two days before the celebrations of the 74th anniversary of the creation of Israel, the attack shocks the country and its Prime minister, Naftali Bennett. “We are at the beginning of a new stage in the fight against terrorism. Those who incite violence cannot rest on their laurels.“

Without claiming their responsibility, the Palestinian movements then speak of an attack “heroic“. In the space of two months, 18 people died in anti-Israeli attacks. At the same time, no less than 27 Palestinians were killed during operations by Israeli forces in the West Bank.
