then on friday, an style palestinian woman was wounded after shot by israeli forces in galilee. israeli police say she was waving a knife when she shot her. the full israeli cabinet has a meeting to discuss the situation on sunday. benjamin netanyahu said the region is in the midst of a wave of what he called terrorism. we of this report. >> it's the first full cabinet meeting in nearly three weeks. there's been an up surge in violence in occupied territory and in israel itself. four israelis have been killed in sporadic and random knife attacks. in most cases, the alleged palestinian attackers were shot dead on the scene, and a number of palestinian demonstrators have been killed by israeli forces in the end occupied west bank and gas. the rising fatality figures raise questions by human rights organizations about the rules of engagement being applied by the

killed by a bullet fired from a radioinger sniper rifle, the weapon the israeli military says is non-lethal, but has been responsible for at least five palestinian deaths this year, according to the human rights organization. >> fundamental principles in terms of firearms used by law enforcement officials provide that life fire may only be used when there's an imminent threat of death or serious injury. in other circumstances, the killings may be rewarded as extra judicial. in addition, as an occupying force, the israeli army should also be subject to several restrictions in terms of international law. >> several human rights organizations are arguing that full transparent investigation into all the killings and shootings must be held, otherwise, the israeli government itself could be complicit in deaths that have no legal justification in

killed in this strike. apparently baghdadi was heading to a meeting of senior isil commanders in that town. it needs to be said that over the past year there have been several reports that baghdadi had been seriously wounded in strikes carried out by iraq said military and air strike. those have either been denied or no evidence was ever found to prove that baghdadi was injured. in fact, as early as april of this year, baghdadi put out roar purportedly put out a radio or audio statement confirming that evident alive. all of this just lends to this hour row or mystique of baghdadi who is rarely seen in public, but underscores just how keen the iraqi military is to score that symbolic victory and perhaps more importantly strategic victory of reporting
