Five Israelis, including a soldier, were injured Friday evening in four separate shooting and stabbing attacks in al-Khalil and Ramallah in occupied West Bank.
An Israeli soldier was shot and seriously injured after being shot in his head near Beit Einun, north of al-Khalil Friday evening.
Earlier in the same place, an Israeli car carrying three settlers was subjected to gunfire attack. One of the settlers was seriously injured during the attack.
Large reinforcements of Israeli occupation forces arrived in the incidents area and carried out search operations looking for the suspects who managed to flee the area.
In another separate attack, two other Israelis were moderately and seriously injured after being shot by a sniper fire near the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil.

The suspected attacker fled the scene while Israeli forces began searching for the individual in the area.
3 Israelis Injured in Hebron Shooting Attacks
Three Israelis were shot and injured Friday evening, in two separate shooting attacks in the Hebron district, Israel's army said.
An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma'an News Agency that an Israeli was shot and severely injured near Beit Einun, north of Hebron Friday evening. Israeli forces were conducting a search in the area for the suspect.
Palestinian witnesses said that they heard sporadic exchanges of gunfire in the area, with Israeli forces shouting loudly.
Large reinforcements of military forces arrived in Beit Einun, following the incident, with Israeli soldiers raiding a nearby home belonging to the al-Jabari family.
Earlier, Israel's army said that "two Israelis were shot at the Tomb of Patriarchs," in reference to the Ibrahimi Mosque.
The spokesperson said that the assailant was unknown and Israeli forces were searching the area, adding that the injured had been evacuated to hospital.
Israeli media identified a 16-year-old male who was seriously wounded and an 18-year-old male left with light injuries.
Over 4,000 Jewish worshipers were reportedly in the city at the time for a religious holiday, accompanied by a heavy Israeli military presence in the area.
Israeli media reported that both Hebron attacks were carried out by the same Palestinian group. The reports have not been confirmed.
Earlier today, an Israeli settler was stabbed and seriously wounded near an illegal settlement in Ramallah, with the attacker fleeing the scene.
Shortly after, Tharwat al-Sharawi, 72, was shot dead after Israeli forces said she attempted to run over soldiers in Halhul near Hebron.
A Palestinian was also shot dead by Israeli forces during demonstrations in the Gaza Strip Friday, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed since the beginning of last month to 75.
Nine Israelis have died from individual Palestinian attacks during the same time period.
Hebron in particular has been a flash-point site for recent violence, and residents have come under harsh Israeli restrictions and closures throughout the city over the past month.
Israeli security forces last week closed off Hebron’s Tel Rumeidah neighborhood to all Palestinians except registered residents of the area.
At that time, an Israeli army spokesperson said that, after an increase in attacks in the area, several preventative measures had taken place "in accordance with a situation assessment" done by the military.
Israeli rights group B’Tselem said Friday that the new restrictions were interrupting Palestinian lives and constituted collective punishment.
Access for Palestinians in and out of Hebron city as well as several Hebron-area villages have also worsened over the past week, forcing residents to travel on longer roads or face long waits at checkpoints.

Three Israeli settlers were injured Monday afternoon in a stabbing attack next to a bus station in Rishon Lezion south of Tel Aviv.
One of the reported injured was taken to hospital in serious condition.
Israeli Yediot Aharanot newspaper said a Palestinian suspect was arrested after being shot and injured during the attack.
The three Israelis were injured in an attack that began on a bus and continued into the street in Rishon LeZion at the end of the afternoon, the newspaper said.
Israeli media reported that the suspect had been wounded by Israeli forces before he was arrested.
The Palestinian detainee was identified as Imad Trada, 19, from al-Khalil (Hebron).
Earlier Monday, a Palestinian man was shot and injured after he allegedly stabbed three Israeli settlers in Netanya city, north of Tel Aviv.
The Palestinian has been identified as Ziyad Ridha, 22, from Balaa village east of Tulkarem in the northern occupied West Bank.
The three injured Israelis suffered minor and moderate wounds, Israeli sources said.
More than 70 Palestinians have been killed and over 1200 others injured by Israeli forces since the outbreak of Jerusalem Intifada early October 2015. The majority of those killed were unarmed, and the number includes two babies under age two.
Despite Israeli claims of a widespread wave of ‘knife attacks’ by Palestinians against Israelis, many of the alleged knife attacks were later disproved by video evidence and eyewitness accounts. There have also been several proven incidents of Israeli soldiers planting knives on the bodies of Palestinians they had killed.

Labour MP Sir Gerald Kaufman has allegedly accused Israel of fabricating some recent stories about knife attacks against Jews in Israel, and claimed the Conservative party is influenced by "Jewish money," in a speech at a pro-Palestine event at Parliament.
As reported by The Jewish Chronicle, Kaufman, MP for Manchester Gorton and Father of the House, told the audience at a Palestine Return Centre event that the Government has become more pro-Israel in recent years due to donations from Jewish groups.
"It's Jewish money, Jewish donations to the Conservative Party - as in the general election in May - support from The Jewish Chronicle, all of those things, bias the Conservatives," he said.
"There is now a big group of Conservative members of Parliament who are pro-Israel whatever government does and they are not interested in what Israel, in what the Israeli government does."
He added: "They're not interested in the fact that Palestinians are living a repressed life, and are liable to be shot at any time. In the last few days alone the Israelis have murdered 52 Palestinians and nobody pays attention and this government doesn't care."
Kaufman then went on to claim "more than half" of the stabbings that have recently happened in the West Bank, Jerusalem and the rest of Israel were fabricated, in comments that were recorded by blogger David Collier.
Reading from an email from a friend who lives in East Jerusalem, Kaufman said: "More than half of the stabbing claims were definitely fabricated. The other half, some were true, the others there was no way to tell since they executed Palestinians and no one asked questions."
“Not only that, they got to the point of executing Arab-looking people and in the past few days they killed two Jewish Israelis and an Eritrean just because they looked Arab.
“They fabricated a stabbing story to justify the killings before they found out they were not Palestinians.”
Kaufman was referring to an incident which took place earlier this month, in which an Eritrean man was killed by an angry crowd who incorrectly believed he was the accomplice of an Arab attacker.
The Palestine Return Centre, who organised the roundtable event where Kaufman made the comments, is a consultancy which focuses on issues relating to dispersed Palestinians and their return to Israel.
Kaufman has been an MP since June 1970, making him the longest-serving MP currently in the House of Commons. He is Jewish, and has long been an outspoken critic of Israel and the Israeli government.

Palestinian anti-occupation activists hurled stones at the extremist and racist Israeli rabbi Yehuda Glick as he was driving on al-Issawiya road in Occupied Jerusalem in protest at his ongoing incitement against Islamic sacred places of worship and the peaceful Muslim congregations.
Glick, who has long masterminded Israeli desecration break-ins at Muslims’ the holy al-Aqsa Mosque, has often incited to violence and terrorism against Islamic holy sites and the non-violent Muslim worshipers.
The Palestinian protesters further hurled stones at another Israeli conscript while she was driving near al-Khalil’s Halhoul town, in the southern West Bank.
Violent clashes have rocked al-Khalil city over the past few weeks in protest at Israel’s excessive use of armed force against Palestinian civilians.

A Palestinian allegedly stabbed and injured a female Israeli settler in a supermarket in the illegal settlement bloc of Gush Etzion, south of Bethlehem, on Wednesday, Israeli media and police reported.
Israeli news site Ynet reported that Israeli forces detained the Palestinian suspect, who moderately wounded the Israeli woman in the popular Israeli supermarket chain Rami Levi.
Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld confirmed the incident, saying a "terrorist" had been captured at the scene and the area was closed.
The attack came soon after a separate incident in which Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian in Hebron after allegedly attempting to stab an Israeli soldier.
No Israeli injuries were reported and eyewitnesses told Ma'an that Israeli soldiers planted a knife next to the suspect's body.
The victim was the 62nd Palestinian to be killed since the beginning of the month.
At least 10 Israelis have been killed in attacks by Palestinians in the same time period.
Palestinian kidnapped by Israeli troops in alleged anti-occupation stabbing
A Palestinian citizen was kidnapped by the Israeli occupation troops afternoon Wednesday on allegations that he stabbed an Israeli settler in Gush Etzion, in southern Bethlehem province.
Israeli news outlets claimed an Israeli settler sustained injuries in an alleged stabbing attack.
Spokesperson for the occupation police Micky Rosenfeld claimed in a press release that the Palestinian citizen was nabbed after he stabbed and moderately wounded an Israeli settler near a shop in the Israeli settlement of Gush Etzion, in the southern West Bank.
The Israeli occupation army reportedly sealed off the area shortly afterwards.
Earlier in the day, the occupation forces claimed responsibility for the murder of a Palestinian youth in al-Khalil province on allegations that he attempted to stab an Israeli soldier.
Observers and human rights organizations said most of the Palestinians slain during the ongoing Jerusalem Intifada posed no threat to the occupation soldiers but were rather killed on counterfeit allegations of stabbing attempts.
“This is one of history’s rarest, and indeed most notorious, instances of field executions carried out on account of people’s intentions rather than deeds,” an activist was quoted by the PIC as stating.
“Every time the occupation soldiers take away the life of a Palestinian youth they just place a knife next to his/her body, claim he/she attempted to stab them, and plan for the next murder. The same clichéd scenario has been going on and on for months now,” she added.
