Israel has apprehended the Palestinian attacker who stabbed four people in southern Israel.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said after an extensive manhunt police forces found the 18-year-old Palestinian hiding late yesterday in the yard of a home close to where he carried out his stabbing spree in the southern town of Kiryat Gat. She said he was likely working there unlawfully.
Over the past two months, Palestinian attacks have killed 17 Israelis, mostly in stabbings, while 84 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire. Of them, 52 are said by Israel to be attackers and the rest were killed in clashes with Israeli troops.
The wave of violence began over tensions surrounding a sensitive Jerusalem holy site and has since spread across Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza border.
