                 Three Palestinians Killed in West Bank Attacks

   by VOA News

   Three Palestinians who carried out attacks in the occupied West Bank
   were shot dead Monday by the Israeli military.

   The Israeli army said in a statement two assailants opened fire on
   pedestrians at a bus stop at the entrance of Kiryat Arba, a Jewish
   settlement, near the divided city of Hebron.  Israeli forces shot the
   attackers. One soldier was wounded.

   Another attack happened "moments later," the army said, when a car
   rammed a military vehicle at the same bus stop.  Soldiers opened fire
   on the assailant, killing him.  Two soldiers were injured.

   A wave of Palestinian street violence since October has killed at least
   184 Palestinians, 28 Israelis and two U.S. citizens.

   Analysts say the increasing violence stems from young Palestinians'
   frustration with the growth of Jewish settlements on land Palestinians
   want for a future state, and Islamist calls for the destruction of
   Israel.
