A relatively quiet period in the administered territories over the past month was broken this week by the deaths of seven Palestinians, shot in clashes with Israeli troops, and the wounding of an Israeli vegetable merchant in a stabbing attack.
In the attack on the Israeli, the Israel Defense Force said only that the Jewish merchant was stabbed and lightly wounded in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
In other incidents Tuesday, three Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli soldiers, according to workers at a United Nations clinic. The army confirmed one death and said it was checking the other reports.
On Monday, the army said soldiers in the Gaza Strip had shot dead four Palestinians, two of whom were wanted in connection with armed attacks on Israelis.
