  • A pregnant Palestinian woman, Sara al-Hajuj Atrayera (27),[1] was shot dead when she allegedly pulled a knife and tried to stab an Israeli soldier at the Hasam Tzalbanit checkpost near the Cave of the Patriarchs/Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. Palestinian eyewitnesses report that the incident occurred when she was ordered into a room for a physical inspection, was pepper-sprayed, at which she ran away and was shot dead. She came originally from the same village Bani Na'im as Mohammed Taraireh, who killed an Israeli settler the day before, and of Majd al-Khadour, also shot dead some days earlier for an apparent car-ramming attack in Hebron.[2][3] According to an investigation by the Israeli NGO B'Tselem based on the testimony of bystanders and video footage, a scuffle ensued during the inspection in a room, perhaps because a knife was found in her possession. Two Israeli officers, one a man and a woman, left the room coughing from pepper-spray, which was also later found on the face of the deceased. The woman officer had a pepper-spray in her hand. A third officer left the room, and several others gathered at the door, after which 4 shots were heard being fired. They add that this was, in their view, another of dozens of extrajudicial killings of Palestinians, who could otherwise have been detained without lethal measures, in the past 3 months.[4]
  • In a drive-by shooting in the West Bank, a Palestinian gunman shot dead Rabbi Michael Mark (48), head of a yeshiva at the Israeli settlement of Otniel, and critically wounding his wife Chava (40).

A young Palestinian couple were already trying to help. The 2 medicos dragged the children and wife from the flipped-over vehicles and applied first aid. At the father's funeral, his children silenced mourners crying for revenge.[8][9] In response, Transport Minister Israel Katz said the situation was one of 'all-out war'; Israel sealed off Hebron and its surrounding areas in a military closure in a measure that affects 700,000 Palestinians. Movement by the local population was subject to restrictions except for "humanitarian cases".[1] It was also stated that Israel would proceed with new construction in the settlement of Kiryat Arba; proposals were also made for the cutting off of all internet services to stop incitement; the immediate implementation of demolitions of Palestinian houses in the area lacking Israeli permits; and deductions from tax revenues regularly collected for and passed onto the Palestinian Authority, on the grounds that the sums support the families of terrorists. Katz also called for legislation to expel from the West Bank the families of anyone who engages in such attacks.[10]
