Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have escalated in recent weeks. The Israeli army invaded Palestinian territory two weeks ago. There were nine deaths. A day later, seven people were shot dead in an attack at a synagogue in East Jerusalem.
On Friday, two people were killed when a Palestinian man drove a car into a bus stop in East Jerusalem. An 8-year-old boy died a day later from injuries sustained in the attack.
In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, another Palestinian territory, Israeli troops surrounded a house in the city of Nablus on Sunday, according to eyewitnesses. Shots were fired and there may have been casualties.
