This is a rundown of some of the violent incidents in recent days:
A drive-by shooting took place on Oct. 1 near the settlement of Itamar. Terrorists opened fire at an Israeli family's vehicle, murdering Eitam and Naama Henkin from the Neria settlement. Their four children with them in the car were not injured.
Two days later, at the Lions Gate in the Old City in Jerusalem, Rabbi Nehemia Lavie from Jerusalem and Aharaon Bennett from Beitar Ilit were stabbed to death. Bennett's wife and toddler son were wounded. That same night, a 15-year-old was stabbed and moderately wounded in Jerusalem. Despite attempting to flee the scene, his attacker was subsequently killed by police who saw him with the knife in his hand.
In the early morning hours of Oct. 7, a Palestinian woman stabbed an Israeli near the Lions Gate. At noon, another Palestinian stabbed a soldier in the southern Israeli town of Kiryat Gat, grabbed his rifle and barricaded himself in a nearby apartment. He was killed by Israeli security forces. That evening, a Palestinian from the West Bank town of Dahariya stabbed a young man at the entrance to a shopping mall in Petah Tikva, a city east of Tel Aviv. During the night, two additional stabbing incidents were foiled at the Abu Tor neighborhood in East Jerusalem and at the Tapuach junction in Samaria.
