It was the latest in a series of Palestinian attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers this week that have shocked the country. Earlier Friday an Israeli stabbed and wounded 4 Arabs in southern Israel in an apparent revenge attack.
12:05 pm
Israel's Prime Minister has condemned an Israeli stabbing attack that injured 4 Arabs. Benjamin Netanyahu "strongly condemned the harming of innocent Arabs." He said whoever deploys violence will be brought to justice. Earlier an Israeli man injured 2 Bedouin Arabs and 2 Palestinians in Dimona in the south of the country. The attacker reportedly carried out the attack in revenge for a series of Palestinian attacks this week.

Israeli police say an Israeli stabbed and injured several Arabs in the southern city of Dimona. Spokeswoman Luba Samri said a member of the country's Bedouin minority was found injured with a knife laying at his side. Police rushed to the scene and searched the area, she said. Soon after police received reports of another stabbing in the area and arrested an Israeli man.
Israel media reported that the Israeli had stabbed and injured several Palestinians in the town in addition to the Bedouin man. Samri said 4 Arabs were injured. She said the attacks were likely "nationalistically" motivated.
The attack comes after a week of numerous Palestinian stabbing attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers.

Israeli police are barring young Muslim men from Jerusalem's most sensitive site as a measure to ensure calm after several days of violence.
Spokeswoman Luba Samri said Friday that men under 45 are barred from the Al-Aqsa mosque compound. The age limit has been set intermittently in an attempt to ensure calm as it's mostly younger Palestinians involved in the violence.
Unrest began about three weeks ago as Palestinians repeatedly barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa mosque and hurled rocks and firebombs at police.
It was fueled by Palestinian allegations that Israel plans to change the delicate arrangement at the hilltop compound, holy to Jews and Muslims. Israel has adamantly denied the allegations and accused Palestinian leaders of incitement.
