Ariel, Palestinian Territories, Nov 15 (AFP/APP):A Palestinian killed two Israelis in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, stabbing one man to death and knifing several others, then killing another with a stolen car before being shot dead himself, officials said.
The latest surge in violence came hours before Israel swears in its new parliament, with far-right lawmakers poised to be members of the cabinet vowing a crackdown on Palestinian violence.
Violence in the West Bank has soared since March, as Israel has launched near daily raids in response to series of deadly attacks on Israelis.
The November 1 election saw Lapid and his allies lose their majority in parliament, with former premier Benjamin Netanyahu and his partners securing 64 of the 120 seats.
Israel has occupied the West Bank since the Six-Day War of 1967.
