Arab demands. He has been criticized by nationalist members of his coalition government who accused him of capitulation.
In Gaza, which is run by the militant Hamas group, the Health Ministry said a Palestinian teen was killed in clashes Friday with Israeli soldiers stationed near the strip’s border fence with Israel. It said the 16-year- old was killed while protesting tensions in Jerusalem.
There were several such protests Friday in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military said Palestinians threw rocks and rolled burning tires at them. It said troops opened re when “main instigators” ignored warn- ings to stop damaging the security barrier.
In the violence in the West Bank, a Palestinian was shot and killed after he brandished a knife and ran at troops, Israel’s military said. No soldiers were hurt in the incident at the Gush Etzion Junction, the military added.
The busy intersection south of Jerusalem has been the site of multiple Palestinian attacks in the past two years.
Palestinians threw rebombs and rocks, and rolled burning tires at soldiers who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets at several protests in the West Bank, the military said.
On July 21, a Palestinian sneaked into a Jewish settlement in the West Bank and broke into a home where he stabbed three people to death and wounded a fourth as they ate the traditional Sabbath meal and celebrated the arrival of a new baby in the family.
Israel has been coping with a wave of Palestinian violence that began in 2015 over tensions at the holy site in Jerusalem. Attacks at times were a daily occurrence.
Since then, Palestinians have killed 48 Israelis, two visiting Americans and a British tourist in stabbings, shootings and car-ramming attacks Israeli targeting civilians and soldiers. During that same period, Israeli forces have killed more than 256 Palestinians; Israel has said that most of them were attackers, others died in clashes.
Israel blames the violence on incitement by Palestinian religious and political leaders compounded on social media sites that glorify violence and encourage attacks. Palestinians say the attacks stem from anger and frustration at decades of Israeli rule in territories they claim for a state.
NOT REAL NEWS: A look at what didn’t happen this week By The Associated Press
A roundup of some of the most popular, but completely untrue, headlines of the week. None of these stories are legit, even though they were shared widely on social media. The Associated Press checked these out; here are the real facts:
NOT REAL: President Trump Moves To SHUTDOWN JIHAD TRAINING CAMPS In AMERICA - ISLAMBERG IS FINISHED
THE FACTS: Several widely shared articles report on last month’s arrest of 64-year-old Ramadan Abdul- lah after a police raid found a weapons cache in a storage locker in Union in upstate New York. The raid was ordered by state police, not President Donald Trump. And the town of Union is more than 40 miles from Islamberg, a tiny enclave in the Catskills founded decades ago by Muslim families who moved from New York City. Sites sharing the piece include topsecretleaks.com and freedomdaily.com, which bills itself as the conservative news headquarters.

NOT REAL: The 14 Fake Olive Oil Companies Are Revealed Now - Avoid These Brands
THE FACTS: The story from healthylivingthread.com cites a University of California study in stating that
“almost 70% of olive oil on the American market is somewhat non-genuine.” It goes on to suggest that olive oils in the U.S. market are being diluted with sun ower and canola oils. In reality, the 2010 UC-Davis study found that 69 percent of samples taken from 14 brands of imported extra virgin olive oil on sale in California failed to meet extra virgin standards. The study didn’t nd canola or sun ower oils present in the samples.
