Fresh
violence has erupted between Israel and Palestinians in the West Bank
and Gaza, with three Palestinians killed in clashes, Palestinians say.
Two were killed in confrontations with Israeli troops over the Gaza border, medical sources said.
Also in the West Bank a Palestinian posing as a journalist who stabbed and injured a soldier was shot dead.
Violence between the two sides has spiralled, with near-daily stabbings by Palestinians of Israelis this month.
Seven
Israelis have been killed and dozens wounded in the stabbings and some
gun attacks. At least 30 Palestinians, including several of the
attackers, have been killed in the growing unrest.
The upsurge
began last month when tensions at a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem
revered by Jews and Muslims boiled over amid rumours Israel planned to
relax long-standing rules to strengthen Jewish rights at the complex.
Israel has repeatedly denied such claims.
The UN Security Council is holding an emergency meeting on the upsurge of violence
