Day of Rage in Palestine as Number of Operations against Settlers Continue
Local Editor
Palestinians called for a "Day of Rage" Tuesday, a day after three Palestinian were martyred by "Israeli" police in Occupied Palestine.
26 Palestinians, including eight children, have been martyred in in 12 days of continuous "Israeli" aggression, particularly against al-Aqsa Holy Mosque.
Palestinian groups have called for a "Day of Rage" across the occupied West Bank, Gaza and East al-Quds on Tuesday and the leaders of the 1948 Palestinian community have called for a commercial strike in their towns and villages.
This comes as Palestinian youths continued their stab operations against "Israeli" settlers.
On Monday, two Palestinian youths stabbed two "Israelis" on the northern edge of Occupied al-Quds.
An hour earlier, a Palestinian girl of 16 from the same quarter of East al-Quds as the Pisgat Zeev attackers stabbed and wounded a paramilitary border officer outside the police headquarters in central al-Quds.
And as night fell, police said they had shot dead a Palestinian on a bus near the central bus station who had first tried to grab a soldier's rifle and then succeeded in grabbing the pistol of a police officer attending the scene.
The near-daily stabbings have raised expectations that Palestinians could be embarking on another uprising or intifada.
On Monday, children with plastic guns mixed among hundreds of others who carried the body of Ahmed Sharake, a 13-year-old, during his funeral procession at the turbulent Jalazone refugee camp.
He was martyred on Sunday during clashes in Ramallah.
"He left without telling me," his mother Huda said. "I saw on television that someone was killed and it was only afterward that somebody told me that it was Ahmed."
"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the "Israeli" Knesset that the knife attackers would fail.
In addition, "Israeli" police have deployed 2,000 reinforcements in al-Quds, but "Israeli" leaders say they have no easy answer to "lone wolf" Palestinian assailants.
Palestine Liberation Organization secretary General Saeb Erekat lashed out at Netanyahu after his parliament speech, stressing that "executions and harassment from settlers have exacerbated the violence."
In Vienna, Palestinian foreign minister Riad al-Malki accused Israel of inciting the violence.
"Netanyahu wants to instigate a third intifada. He wants to avoid problems that he is facing in the political and diplomatic arena, where he has failed miserably," Malki added in Vienna.
