BEERSHEVA (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian who was stabbed by an Israeli in Dimona earlier on Friday said the teenager chased him down and stabbed him repeatedly while passersby "looked on."

Eid al-Hawashla, 44, who lives in the suburbs of Dimona, told Ma'an he had just left a shop at the time that the youth had already stabbed two Palestinians nearby.

"He approached me and stabbed once again, despite people shouting at him," al-Hawashla said.

"A Lehman school guard had drawn his gun and ordered him to get away from me, but did not shoot him," he added, referring to a guard of a local school.

Al-Hawashla was one of four Palestinians that an Israeli suspect stabbed and injured in the city on Friday.

The Israeli reportedly attacked a 35-year-old Bedouin laborer before fleeing the scene and stabbing another three Palestinian Bedouin workers, all reported to be in their 50s, Israeli news site Ynet said.
Three of the victims are employees of the Israeli state's Dimona municipality.

Two of the men received moderate to serious injuries and were taken to Soroka hospital for treatment, while the two others were lightly injured.

The Israeli suspect, said to be 17, was detained.

The attack was one of several in a wave of stabbings that has erupted across Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories in recent days.

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- An Israeli suspect stabbed and injured four Palestinians in the city of Dimona in southern Israel on Friday, Israeli media reported.

The unidentified Israeli reportedly first attacked a 35-year-old Bedouin laborer before fleeing the scene and stabbing another three Palestinian Bedouin workers, all reported to be in their 50s, Israeli news site Ynet said.

Three of the victims are employees of the Israeli state's Dimona municipality.

Two of the men received moderate to serious injuries and were taken to Soroka hospital for treatment, while the two others were lightly injured.

The Israeli suspect, said to be 17, was detained.

The stabbing attack comes after reports that a mob of Israelis attacked Palestinians in the central plaza of the city of Netanya late Thursday, with crowds of Israelis throwing chairs at Palestinians and chanting "Death to Arabs" and "Netanya residents are taking care of Arabs."

On Thursday, at least seven Israelis were injured in stab attacks by Palestinians, with one Palestinian suspect shot dead at the scene of an attack in Tel Aviv.

Later, a Palestinian man, Wissam Faraj, 20, was shot dead during a raid in Shufat refugee camp to search the home of a man who had earlier attacked an Orthodox Israeli in Jerusalem.

Fierce clashes were reported across the occupied West Bank for the seventh consecutive day on Thursday, with at least 800 Palestinians injured by Israeli military forces since Saturday, including over 60 with live fire.
