These new deaths come against a backdrop of an outbreak of violence since the beginning of the year.
On Monday evening, an Israeli soldier was lightly injured in a car-ramming attack in Huwara, West Bank, according to the army, which said the vehicle had fled. Since the beginning of the year, at least 153 Palestinians, 20 Israelis, a Ukrainian and an Italian have been killed in violence linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These statistics include, on the Palestinian side, combatants and civilians, including minors, and on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, including minors, and three members of the Arab minority.
