PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL-CONFLICT

The mother (2R) of Amal Jihad Taqatqa, a Palestinian woman from Beit Fajjar near the West Bank city of Bethlehem, cries in her home on December 1, 2014, after her dauther attacked an Israeli civilian in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc, south of Bethlehem. The Israeli army shot and wounded Amal Jihad Taqatqa after she stabbed an Israeli civilian in the Jewish settlement bloc in the southern West Bank, the military said. The attack was the first by a Palestinian woman in a wave of unrest in Israel and the occupied territories, and comes as tensions run high particularly in Jerusalem and nearby areas of the West Bank.
