Four Palestinians were shot dead after stabbing Israelis in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, extending two weeks of the worst clashes since last year’s war in the Gaza Strip.

Two of the attacks took place in the West Bank city of Hebron, where the Palestinian assailants injured an Israeli soldier and a female paramilitary border police officer with knives before they were shot, according to the Israeli police and military. In a third attack in Hebron, the assailant was shot after injuring a soldier and taken away by ambulance, according to an army spokeswoman, who said his condition was not known.
