Three Palestinians were shot and killed Tuesday afternoon after they carried out separate anti-occupation attacks in occupied Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Yafa.
The three attacks resulted in the killing of one Israeli police officer and the wounding of 13 others.
The first anti-occupation attack was carried out near the port in the Arab city of Yafa within the Green Line, when a Palestinian was shot dead after he stabbed to death one Israeli officer and wounded ten others.
In Tel Aviv, a Palestinian was shot and killed after he stabbed and wounded an Israeli settler near Petah Tikva settlement east of Tel Aviv.
Yediot Ahranot Hebrew newspaper said that an "Arab terrorist" stabbed a Jewish Israeli in his mid-30s "in the upper part of his body," leaving him with light to moderate injuries. Israeli police forces arrived at the scene and shot dead the Palestinian, the sources said, adding that Israeli forces closed the area for investigation.
A video appeared in different social networking sites showed a bleeding Palestinian young man, believed to be the attacker, lying on the ground while Israeli bystanders hurl verbal abuses at him. The young man was left bleeding on the ground for long hours till he breathed his last.
In occupied Jerusalem, two Israeli soldiers were seriously injured when a Palestinian fired gunshots at a group of soldiers stationed near Salah al-Din neighborhood. The Israeli forces opened fire at the Palestinian shooter, seriously injuring him before he was then pronounced dead.
Earlier Tuesday, a Palestinian woman was fatally shot by the Israeli occupation soldiers near al-Aqsa Mosque allegedly after she attempted to stab an occupation soldier. Local sources said the Israeli soldiers fired multiple shots at 50-year-old Fadwa Ahmad Abu Teir and prevented the ambulance crew from reaching the scene to evacuate the casualty to hospital. Fadwa was reportedly left bleeding on the ground until she breathed her last.
Since the outbreak of Jerusalem Intifada at the beginning of October last year, 194 Palestinians have been shot and killed by Israelis including 44 children and nine women. 450 Palestinians were also injured by Israeli forces and settlers during the same period.
3 Palestinians shot dead after multiple attacks kill Israeli, wound 12
Three Palestinians were shot dead after they allegedly carried out separate attacks in Israel and occupied East Jerusalem, killing one American tourist and wounding at least 12 Israelis, on Tuesday afternoon and evening.
In the first deadly encounter, shortly before 5 p.m., Israeli police spokesperson Luba al-Samri said a Palestinian man was shot dead after he allegedly stabbed and wounded an Israeli man near Petah Tikva, around seven miles east of Tel Aviv.
Al-Samri said that an "Arab terrorist" stabbed a Jewish Israeli in his mid-30s "in the upper part of his body," leaving him with light to moderate injuries.
Israeli police forces arrived on the scene and shot dead the Palestinian, she said, adding that Israeli forces closed the area for investigation.
Later, Israeli daily Haaretz identified the Palestinian as Abd Al-Rahman Radad, 17, from the Auja village in the eastern occupied West Bank district of Jericho.
Minutes later, another Palestinian was shot dead after allegedly firing gunshots at Israeli police forces near Salah al-Din Street in occupied East Jerusalem, injuring two Israeli officers.
Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld said two Israeli policemen were wounded when a Palestinian shot them with an automatic weapon.
A spokesperson for Hadassah hospital later said both Israeli officers had been hit in the head. One of them, aged 47, was in critical condition, fighting for his life, while the other, 31, was in moderate condition.
Shortly after 6 p.m., Israeli police reported a third attack near the port in the Israeli city of Jaffa, with a Palestinian shot dead after he stabbed to death an American tourist and wounded at least nine Israelis.
Israeli emergency services Magen David Adom (MDA) said five people were seriously injured and four moderately.
A spokesperson said the Palestinian attacker had stabbed the Israelis while running along a path near the port.
Israeli police later identified the Palestinian as a 22-year-old from the city of Qalqiliya in the occupied West Bank.
However Haaretz reported that the 22-year-old had been identified as Bashar Masalha from the village of al-Zawiya in the Jenin district.
The incidents followed a fourth deadly encounter on Tuesday, when a Palestinian woman was shot dead by Israeli border police officers after she allegedly attempted to stab them in Jerusalem's Old City.
Police opened fire on the women, identified as 50-year-old Fadwa Ahmad Abu Teir, when she allegedly pulled out a knife. No Israeli injuries were reported.
Since a wave of unrest swept Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory at the beginning of October last year, at least 188 Palestinians have been shot dead by Israelis.
Israel says the majority of those killed were attempting to attack Israelis when they were shot, although Palestinians and rights groups have disputed Israel's version of events in a number of cases.
During that same period, attacks by Palestinians have left at least 28 Israelis dead.

Two 14-year-old Palestinians were shot and critically injured after carrying out a stab attack that left one Israeli killed and one injured in the Rami Levi supermarket located in the Shaare Benyamin industrial complex northwest of Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli police spokesperson Luba al-Samri said that two Palestinians “infiltrated” the illegal Israeli settlement and entered the supermarket before stabbing the two Israelis, aged 17 and 35.
Both Palestinians were shot and critically injured by an armed civilian present at the scene, al-Samri said.
The police spokesperson initially reported both Palestinians dead.
The 35-year-old Israeli died from stab wounds in the upper body and torso shortly after.
Local sources identified the Palestinians as Ayham Bassam Ibrahim Subih, and Omar Salim Rimawi, both 14-year-old residents of the Ramallah-area town of Beituniya.
Israeli emergency medical service Magen David Adom said medics treated one Israeli in severe condition and another who was in moderate condition. The two were transferred to Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem.
An Israeli settler in his forties was stabbed and injured in a Rami Levi supermarket in the same illegal settlement on Nov. 6.
A wave of small-scale attacks carried out by Palestinian individuals in the occupied Palestinian territory -- predominantly on Israeli military targets -- have increasing targeting illegal settlements this month.
Attacks have left over 25 Israelis dead since Oct. 1, with the majority of suspected Palestinian attackers shot dead on site. Nearly 180 Palestinians have been killed during the same period, many under disputed circumstances.
Five Palestinians were shot dead earlier this week on Sunday during three separate alleged attacks on Israeli military in occupied East Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Jenin.
No Israelis were injured in any of the incidents.
International bodies have attempted to quell the ongoing violence through urging restraint by both Israeli and Palestinian leadership.
Palestinian leadership has remained markedly absent from the recent unrest, and the majority of attacks have been carried out by young Palestinians unaffiliated to any political faction.
Israeli authorities meanwhile have launched closures of Palestinian roads, villages, and entire districts in response to recent attacks in what the army has referred to as necessary “security measures.”
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon addressing recent events in the territories last month said the new year had begun as 2015 ended -- "with unacceptable levels of violence and a polarized public discourse across the spectrum in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory."
While condemning attacks carried out by Palestinians, Ban said that Israeli security measures were failing to "address the profound sense of alienation and despair driving some Palestinians -- especially young people."
The Secretary-General continued that it was “human nature” for Palestinians to react violently to Israel’s decades-long military occupation, and urged change in Israel’s policies in the occupied area.

Members of the Knesset on Wednesday argued the possibility of a two-state solution at a special plenum debate, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Palestinian "terror" came from a "culture of death," according to a Knesset press release.
During the debate, the Israeli PM and Israel's Labor party opposition leader Isaac Herzog exchanged criticisms over the "most realistic" way to obtain a two-state solution.
Herzog, who is a strong supporter of the two-state solution, recently announced that he did not think two states were possible under today's political climate, and introduced a plan late last month that would see many Palestinian areas in occupied East Jerusalem cut off from the rest of the city.
"We have a different vision, and as hard as you try, you will not be able to kill it. The two-state vision isn`t dead," Herzog said. "But it won`t happen tomorrow, certainly not as long as you, Mr. Netanyahu and [Palestinian President] Abu Mazen are afraid to make a move."
"Therefore, I am determining that what we can achieve today is security for the citizens of Israel and separation between us and the Palestinians, with actions rather than talk."
Netanyahu said Herzog and the Labor party could not be "trusted" with solutions due to being "years late in understanding" facts on the ground.
"Terror is not a result of occupation,” Netanyahu said. "The terror stems from a culture of death. Its goal is not to free a state, it is to destroy a state."
In response, Herzog argued that the two-state solution "is the only vision that will preserve Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. The alternative is a Jewish-Arab state that will destroy Israel as a Jewish state."
"I know the far right disagrees with me. The far right thinks annexing the territories with their Palestinian residents is the solution,” Herzog said. "Well, who stopped you? You set up a purely rightist government. What are you afraid of?"
Herzog accused Netanyahu's government of putting Israel on a trajectory that would force the country to accept Palestinian's "right of return."
"The radical right want to annex territories and bring millions of Palestinians to the State of Israel," Herzog said.
Zehava Galon, the chairwoman of Meretz, a left-wing Zionist party, criticized Herzog's Labor party for "giving up on the two-state solution."
"The terror wave that has been wreaking havoc here over the past few months is proof of the collapse of the notion that the conflict can be managed. What solution are you proposing," Golan shot back at both parties.
"To surround ourselves with fences? To annex 150,000 Palestinians? Where`s the security? When will the moment come when Israelis and Palestinians will stop being murdered? We are paying the price for your cowardly policy, which assumed that we can continue life here as usual when millions of Palestinians are under occupation and without rights."
During the debate, Israeli media reported that several MKs from the Joint List -- a party composed of four Palestinian-dominated parties -- walked out of the plenum in protest.
The Israeli government has long been criticized for policy that has made a two-state solution impossible, particularly in regards to ongoing settlement expansion in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Netanyahu consistently argues that settlements are not an obstacle to peace despite international condemnation of illegal settlement growth onto private Palestinian land.
Well over 500,000 Israelis are currently living across the occupied Palestinian territory, interconnected by Israeli-only infrastructure that both steals from Palestinian resources and cuts off Palestinian communities from one another.
The Israeli PM's allegations that "terror" stems from a "culture of death" rather than occupation comes despite remarks from UN Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon last month that it was "human nature" for Palestinians to react violently to Israel's nearly 50-year military occupation.

Three Palestinians were shot dead on Wednesday, after they killed an Israeli police officer and wounded another during an armed attack near Damascus Gate, in occupied East Jerusalem's Old City, Israeli police said.
An Israeli police spokesperson said that “three attackers were shot dead at the scene” by Israeli Border Police after carrying out an attack with knives and an automatic weapon.
The three Palestinian youths had attracted the attention of Israeli Border Police officers as they approached Damascus Gate, another police spokesperson said.
According to Ma'an News Agency's report, they were stopped by the officers, and, as one showed their identification card, another pulled out a gun and opened fire. Two female Border Police officers were wounded and evacuated for medical treatment.
One of them, 19-year-old Hadar Cohen, was shot in her head and later pronounced dead at Hadassah Hospital.
A spokesperson for the hospital said that the other police officer, 18 years old, was in moderate condition, having received stab wounds across her body.
Explosive devices were later found near the site, which was cordoned off following the attack, It was added that Israeli forces carried out a controlled explosion of the devices. Additionally, following initial investigations, the three Palestinians were reportedly armed with three automatic weapons.
Witnesses said that Israeli forces fired stun grenades and pepper spray near the Salah al-Deen Street and Al-Sultan Suliman streets, near Damascus Gate, to prevent Palestinians from approaching the area.
Witnesses added the forces also stopped a group of people and inspected them in a "humiliating" way. The three Palestinians killed were identified as Ahmad Rajeh Ismail Zakarneh, Muhammad Ahmad Hilmi Kamil and Najeh Ibrahim Abu al-Rub, from the village of Qabatia, near the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.
Israeli media reported that two of the three were barred from entrance into Israel, and that all three had crossed over illegally. Israeli media reports also said none of the three Palestinians were affiliated with any political organization.

An Israeli woman was stabbed and killed in the southern occupied West Bank district of Hebron on Sunday, an Israeli army spokesperson said.
An Israeli army spokesperson said a "terrorist" broke into the home of a woman in the illegal Israeli settlement of Otniel, south of Hebron city, and stabbed her, before fleeing the scene.
Before the woman succumbed to her wounds, a spokesperson from Magen David Adom, Israel's emergency medical service, said an Israeli woman was being treated in "severe condition."
Israeli forces told residents of Otniel to remain in their homes, as large numbers of soldiers and police officers begin to search for the suspect, Hebrew media reported.
The victim of the attack has yet to be identified.
Hours before the incident, Israeli border guard officers, stationed at a checkpoint at the western entrance to the illegal Kiryat Arbaa settlement in Hebron, detained a teenage Palestinian woman after they reportedly found a knife in her bag.
Local sources in Hebron identified the girl as 18-year-old Nivin Muhsin al-Jaabari.
Earlier on Sunday, a Palestinian was shot and killed following an alleged attempted stabbing attack in the northern occupied West Bank district of Nablus, an Israeli army spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said the "assailant" was shot and killed after attempting to attack and stab Israeli soldiers "securing the area," adding that no Israelis were injured during the incident.
The Palestinian man was identified as Wissam Marwan Qasrawa, 21, from the village of Masliya south of Nablus.
