Tensions between Palestine and Israel continue to rise after the latest violent events between the two sides.

The recent episode began last Wednesday when Israeli police stormed Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa Mosque to violently expel Muslim worshipers. According to the police and the Palestinian Red Crescent, the brutal intervention of the armed forces during the full celebration of the Islamic month of Ramadan ended with 350 prisoners and 37 wounded.

This mosque is located in the Esplanade of Mosques, one of the three holy places of Islam, and is located in the Palestinian part of the city.

Netanyahu claimed that the Israeli forces were forced to act “to restore order” by the presence of “extremists” in the mosque.

Following this, an Italian tourist was killed by a car near Tel Aviv’s waterfront on Friday night, and seven other people were injured.

The driver, killed by police, was 45 years old and from Kfar Kassem, an Arab town in central Israel.

Three people are still in Ichilov Hospital in the coastal town with minor injuries, the hospital said on Saturday.

Hours earlier, there was another attack in the Jewish settlement of Efrat, in the West Bank, a Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967.

Two British-Israeli sisters, aged 16 and 20, were killed and their mother was seriously injured in a shooting attack on their vehicle.

The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas claimed that the Tel Aviv attack was a “natural and legitimate response” to Israeli “aggression”.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered “to mobilize all reserve police units at the borders and to mobilize additional (military) troops to deal with terrorist attacks.”

The police specified that four reserve battalions from its frontier corps would be deployed to the center of towns from Sunday.

The battalions will be added to the already mobilized units in the mixed city of Lod and in the Jerusalem region.

In the West Bank, the Israeli army said on Saturday that it had been shot at night, near the Palestinian village of Yabad (north).

The soldiers “fired at the attackers” who were aboard a vehicle, and one person was identified and shot, according to a military statement.
