Palestinian killed after stabbing soldier, Israel military says

Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian who stabbed a soldier in the West Bank, the military said Saturday, a day after Palestinians carried out several assaults. The weekend assaults were the latest violence in a year of Palestinian attacks that at times have been near-daily occurrences but have recently been on the decline. On Saturday, the military said a Palestinian pulled out a knife during a security check in the West Bank city of Hebron and stabbed a soldier, prompting forces to open fire and kill the attacker. The incident came a day after what Israeli authorities said were several Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians, police and a soldier. In the first Friday attack, a man came out of Jerusalem's walled Old City brandishing a knife in each hand, police said.
