Yesterday (Sunday), near the West Bank Palestinian village of Beit Anun, north of the Israeli community of Kiryat Arba, a Palestinian Arab male of 29 lunged at IDF soldiers with a knife. He was shot dead. No soldiers were injured in the attack.
Some hours later, in the same village, a driver deliberately ran down three Israelis, causing injuries - two lightly, a third moderately. Ynet says security forces fired at the vehicle but the driver succeeded in fleeing in his vehicle. A search ensued, but no results yet.
A day earlier, a Palestinian Arab youth of 17, named as Mahmoud Talel Nazal, tried to stab Israeli guards at the Gilboa/Jalama crossing near Jenin on Saturday morning. The attacker from the village of Kabatiyeh was shot dead before he could do any serious harm.
And this morning (Monday), a report via Israel National News that a firebomb (colloquially known as a Molotov Cocktail) was hurled at the Jerusalem District Court building. Damage was caused to the structure located on Salah al-Din Road in East Jerusalem.
Also this morning: Israel National News says a pair of knife-wielding attackers attempted to stab a soldier at the Jalameh Crossing in Samaria. Soldiers at the scene shot one dead. The second was subdued and apprehended. No reports of injuries to the Israelis.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
