IDF gears up for 'Day of Rage' after day of terror
|
[Ynet] Massive security planned for Friday after string of terror attacks wounding seven in Tel Aviv, Afula, Jerusalem, and Kiryat Arba.
| Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat urged residents licensed to carry weapons to carry them, as violence spiked in the city over the past few weeks. |
IDF's Judea and Samaria Division has been preparing unprecedented security for Friday out of concern that noon prayers will result in rioting of thousands of Paleostinians in the West Bank. Thousands of troops will be placed along roads and flashpoints, while IDF officers and Paleostinian security apparatuses coordinate their response.
Paleostinians have designated Friday a "Day of Rage" amid ongoing violence. Just on Thursday, seven Israelis were maimed by attacks, while police clashed with Paleostinian protesters, resulting in injuries on both sides.

Friday could prove to be a watershed moment in the current wave of unrest. Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, has been doing everything it can to bring the Paleostinian public to conflict with Israel. Hassan Yusef, a Hamas leader in the West Bank, warned that on Friday the entire West Bank and Gazoo Strip would be ablaze with demonstrations. This was a relatively unusual statement, as Hamas leaders in the West Bank have tried to keep a low profile, fearing arrest.
A 25-year-old man was maimed after being stabbed near the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba on Thursday, shortly after a Paleostinian man injured four while on a stabbing rampage in Tel Aviv. A 20-year-old male was stabbed in Afula. The assailant in that incident was overpowered.
A soldier was stabbed in Afula later on Thursday. The terrorist was apprehended soon after. The stabbing marked the fourth terror attack of the day. Yossi Fahima, director of the MDA in Afula, said the young man had been stabbed in the chest twice and was in moderate condition. "He was conscious when he was evacuated," said Fahima. "The terrorist was not maimed other than blows he received from civilians, and was rescued from the angry mob."
In the wake of the ongoing spate of violent attacks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he would hold a presser in the evening along with Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot and Interim Police Chief Bentzi Sau.

, for his part, called on the Israeli government to "stay away from our holy places".
The Kiryat Arba assailant is still on the lam and is believed to have fled in the direction of Hebron. Security forces are currently in pursuit. Reports stated that the victim was stabbed in the Jewish quarter of Hebron, and managed to drive himself to Kiryat Arba.
The Tel Aviv assailant was rubbed out by an Israel Air Force officer after attacking passers-by with a screwdriver opposite the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv. All four victims were lightly maimed. Sec. Lt. Daniel, who killed the terrorist in Tel Aviv, recounted: "I saw the terrorist stabbing the soldier, I understood it was an attack, so I got out of the car, ran up to him and neutralized him from close range -- I was in the right place at the right time."
The mother of the soldier who was stabbed in the Tel Aviv attack said, "I saw the terrorist running up to my daughter and stabbing her. I started screaming and crying and I understand that this was a terrorist attack."
"She sat on her gun so he couldn't steal it, and the other soldier ran after the terrorist. I'm in shock. I just spoke to her and she is traumatized," her mother said.
Police cordoned off Begin junction, one of the busiest junctions in the city, fearing a second terrorist might be on the loose.
Hours earlier, a Yeshiva student was seriously maimed after being stabbed in the chest in the French Hill neighborhood of East Jerusalem. The assailant, a 19-year-old resident of East Jerusalem, then tried to snatch the weapon of a security guard on the nearby light rail. Police rushed to the scene and managed to take control of the attacker while he tried to hijack a passing car.
The victim, a 25-year-old Haredi man, was treated by paramedics who transported him to the capital's Shaare Zedek Medical Center. It is the second stabbing attack in the city in the space of 24 hours.
The attack came hours after Mayor Nir Barkat urged residents licensed to carry weapons to carry them, as violence spiked in the city over the past few weeks.

Paleostinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said in Ramallah that "In spite of what is happening around us, we remain steadfast in our homeland, we are committed to its success, and believe that this land is our homeland and we will never abandon it for anyone. We are not attacking anyone and we don't want others to attack us. We also don't want them to enter the holy al-Aqsa mosque. We hold the hands of our brothers who are protecting al-Aqsa. But we are suffering in order to defend it. We call upon the Israeli government: Stay away from our holy places. Our hands are still extended in peace despite our suffering. We are still a peaceful people".
