[ gunfire ] in bethlehem palestinians protesters threw stones at the israeli army. earlier north of ramallah a palestinian man was shot dead after ramming his car into israeli soldiers. two were likely injured. stephanie decker joins us live now from ramallah. this is apparently getting worse

by the day, steph. get us up to date with the death toll so far. >> reporter: the death toll since the first of october when we really saw this wave of one on one violence start, these are huge numbers, but i think now we're two months on. this is becoming a daily occurrence. it does go in waves. in a day like today, three separate incidents in separate parts of the occupied west bank. last night there was a stabbing in occupied east jerusalem. that palestinian man also shot and killed, so also significant in the sense if we look at these stabbing attacks, many times the solders are lightly injured, and what aid injuries will tell you there is an excessive use of force when it comes to confronting these attackers.

also some of these incidents are disputed by the palestinians that they actually happen the way the israeli military says. but shooting the perpetrators is something that amnesty call extra judicial killings. they have bullet proof, stab vests. they have weapons, that it's not necessary to shoot and kill. but certainly that number is rising and rising, 112 palestinians killed in alleged incidents like this, and also in confrontations with israeli security forces in protests. so numbers keep increasing, the streets, no signs of calming down, palestinians will tell you this is a biproduct of frustration, decades of frustration and people see no hope that it will end any time soon. >> stephanie new footage has

emerged apparently showing an israeli soldier planting a knife on a schoolgirl. now look at what is going on here, it is not the world's best image, but you can get a sense of what is going on there. it's the moment in which the solder appears to drop a knife on the ground in front of the girl. she is frightened. she is visibly trembling. there is another soldier, you can see him to the right-hand side, that soldier is looking on. the girl later crouches down to pick up the knife, she then is talking to the solder, as she holds it. before being arrested. now in recent months the military has been accused of planting knives near the bodies of palestinians. that video in itself makes uncomfortable viewing for anyone. that's not the first kind of

video that we have had of that nature, though. >> reporter: no, there's been -- there's been a few of these videos that have emerged over the last two months, which raise questions, certainly as to the behavior of the soldiers. there was one in the beginning of this wave of violence, in hebron, a particularly violent place, palestinians and israeli settlers live closely side by side. palestinians shot dead by a settlers. and video emerged showing the palestinians on the ground, the settler standing there with a gun, what appears to show an israeli soldier taking a knife and putting it next to the body. it certainly doesn't help the street when you do have quite a few incidents that palestinians dispute. they say sometimes when the israelis say there was a stabbing incident, palestinians

say they didn't have a knife at all. we're talking about an age of social media, they make tear way on to twitter and facebook. and palestinians see this, and palestinians we have spoken to in the past are family members that have carried out some of these attacks, and videos like that, they will tell you are some of the reasons they are going out to do that. because they feel their hands are tied. politically they have no faith in their leaders, that they have the power to make israel come to the table in the occupation, so a lot of frustration, here. the older generation will tell you they have no hope. the young people think they are trying to do something, but many palestinians of the older generation say these killings, the deaths of these youths that try to make a point when it comes to confronting israeli soldiers are doing it vein,

because nothing is changing and the world seems to have forgotten the palestinian cause. >> this use of cars to ram other people, it feels relatively new, quite obvious in a way if your only weapon and you feel the need to defend yourself or hit back is to use a vehicle. but how new is that? >> reporter: it's not totally new. we have seen more of these incidents since the first of october, but there have been incidents of car rammings as well. many also again were disputed. sometimes you would have video emerge where it shows a car serving but not accelerating, but then, of course, there were incidents where there absolutely was a car ramming into a bus stop or a group of soldiers. and palestinian will tell you they don't have many means to fight back. we have knives, we have

incidents of schoolgirls with scissors. the car ramming. it has gained momentum, and what has lead to this was tensions over the al-aqsa mosque compound, the restrictions placed there on palestinians lead to a lot of anger on the streets. people felt that israel was encroaching, violating on what is their third holiest site. and it is the occupation and the feeling that nothing is being done, so it is something that is unfortunately seemingly becoming the norm here. >> stephanie, thank you very much. german reconnaissance jets are flying to a turkish air base ready to take part in operations against isil in syria. they were given the order to go after german mp's today voted to join the international coalition. germany will also send 1200

soldiers in a non-combat role. >> reporter: the vote was overwhelming, 445 in favor to 146 against. and it reflects a mood broadly supportive of military action. but german lawmakers faced questions and debate. >> translator: you can be sure that the bombs of the last three weeks alone in syria have killed more civilians than the attacks in paris, and the mothers of raqqa are also crying for their children. do those countries leading the war really want to get into a competition with isil about who understands more about murder? those who do this have already lost. >> translator: taking into account isil's disrespect for people and their brutality, there needs to be a damned good argument to vote no. there are no good ak -- reasons

against taking action. >> reporter: a public opinion poll found 58% of germans in favor after action, even though the same poll found 63% found that attacks will increase attacks risks in berlin. it is sending six tornado reconnaissance jets, up to 1200 personnel, and a german naval frigate, which will provide protection to the charles de gaulle. the french president is making a surprise visit to the de gaulle on friday. france has also revealed that its aircraft have been conducting reconnaissance and

intelligence flights over parts of libya, which are controlled by isil affiliates. the coalition against isil is growing and widening by the day. paul brennan, al jazeera. joining me now is a researcher at the german institute for international and security affairs. what is the potential here as far as the germans are concerned for mission creep and german forces on the ground? >> well, german forcing on the ground would definitely require that other forces are on the ground first, right? i mean, we're not going to go in there with a hundred people or 200 soldiers, so as long as neither the americans nor the french, nor anybody else actually wants to put boots on the ground, i don't really expect german boots on the ground very soon. >> folded into the equation the thinking about this for the u.s.-lead coalition, the 70,000

moderate fighters on the ground in syria, within that equation, the kurds are key. what is your reading of how dependable the kurds are? >> well, i mean the kurds have shown that they are quite effective fighting force. they are an effective fighting force when it comes to defend their regions, and their towns against i.s. or anybody else, how effective they are going to be when they expand beyond the areas that are inhabited by kurds and where the local population more or less embraces them remains to be seen. and there's the lingering question, how are the people in those areas going to receive them? we know the syrian regime has settled -- has tried to settle arabs in those kurdish areas to break up territorial continuity

between kurdish areas in this syria and turkey. so there is potential for conflict there, and we don't really know how that is going to play out if the kurds were to advance into areas that perhaps i.s. may have to abandon. >> can you try to square one sickle for us, because if the kurds are or carry on being an effective fighting force you have the kurds lee acing with the u.s.-coalition, you have turkey that is a nato country, but turkey has a big problem with the kurds. in reality, how would that work? >> in reality that is going to be very difficult, of course, as you already insinuated. the kurds that we are talk about in syria are overwhelmingly the ypg, the people's defense unit, i think, that's the translation, and those are linked to one may

even say an organic part of the largest pkk, the kurdish workers' party and of course we all know that turkey has a long history of conflict with that party, or with that group. we know that the peace process that -- that looked promising for quite a while between the pkk and turkish government or the turkish state has seen difficult times recently, some people think it has collapsed, so from the turkish perspective the idea that an autonomous, self governed kurdish area comes into existence in northern syria, receives international recognition, perhaps already receives international support in forms of weapons and other things is -- is a very -- a very

unpleasant idea and of course, i mean, the concern is that it may give ideas to the kurds on the other side in turkey itself. so that is indeed a conflict of interest here, and a conflict of priorities that -- that is very, very difficult to reconcile. >> we have to leave it there. thank you very much. >> you are welcome. do stay with us here on the news hour from al jazeera, still to come, teenagers of the occupation, we meet the palestinian boy searching for hope in the face of daily harass and humiliation. plus what the authorities found at the home of the married couple behind the mass shooting in california. >> what happened with the recent arrest was in may and yesterday are related to the confederations and the americans, has nothing to do with fear. >> reporter: and one of the leading candidates to take over at fifa, depends football's world governing body. ♪

this group was among 900 hostages who were being held by boko haram fighters in several different places. cameroon says a senior member of the group was killed during the two-day operation, which also left 100 fighters dead. >> among the enemies neutralized we can count the head of operations of boko haram in the area. he lead several attacks against our territory. large amounts of weapons and in addition, as well as propaganda material were confiscated during these operations. >> reporter: boko haram roughly translates as western education is forbidden. it's armed campaign in northern nigeria has left thousands dead during the last six years. earlier this year, itt allied itself with isil, and carried out several cross-border attacks in cameroon in the last few

islam have joined al-qaeda. we will be one sword with which to slaughter our first enemy, namely the crusader france and its agents in the region. >> reporter: they say they coordinated the attack on the radisson blu hotel. other armed groups, including isil operate in north africa, but analysts say the decision by the leader to align his group once more with al-qaeda, not isil is unsurprising. >> i think in this particular context, it's more personality based. but i think he he's -- he -- this -- this group is very much one that sort of linked around the individual leader, and he is a figure that has been very explicitly more in the al-qaeda camp rather than the isil camp. >> reporter: it says it wants

its fighters freed from the prison and the attacks to stop. mali has been in a political crisis since a coup three years ago. it was followed by an armed rebellion in the north which lead to french military involvement. since then mali has taken control of its own skierty, but it's allies, france and the united states remain ready to help, as they did during the attack on the radisson blu hotel. the leader of the north african branch said he welcomed the hotel attack, and warned of more attacks in france. a molotov cocktail hurled at a nightclub in the egyptian capitol has killed 16 people. one of the attackers was an employee who had been dismissed from his job. the police are searching for three men now. the attack happened close to the cairo city center. the site attacked including restaurant. er fbi agents are still trying

have, very steeply over the last year, down now to less than $45 a barrel. on the other hand you have countries, particularly, perhaps, libya, algeria, and venezuela that were going into this meeting urging a cut in production because they need to see a sharp rise in oil prices. they lead a more hand-to-mouth existence, if you would like. i spoke to the venezuelan oil minister, and asked him how bad it was for his country's economy oil under $45 a barrel. and this is what he said to me just before the meeting. >> we are desperate for a raise in the price. and only venezuelans [ inaudible ]. >> reporter: but you are desperate, aren't you? >> all of the countries including the saudis or whatever country, okay?

so it's not only venezuela. >> reporter: however the experts and the smart money are predicting that the saudis will get their way, along with smaller gulf allies like qatar, uae, and kuwait. saudi arabia has enormous clout, of course, as the largest producer, and it will be saying to countries like venezuela, you are talking about cuts, but let's face it, you are not in a position to cut, you want us to cut. no, we believe the saudis will say, let's stick with the current policy, it will bring us more short-term pain, but over the coming months it may push out of the market more expensive producers, shale producers in the united states, and deep water producers in places like brazil, and that will lead to restoration of price in the latter half of 2016. the chinese government has more than $60 billion in

example [ inaudible ] west bank and gaza, more than 2 million are going to the internet, and 2 million facebook users. thousands using twitter and instagram. children from 10, 13 years old and up using these tools. so now [ inaudible ] just only watching tvs. now people watching every single moment, watching, reading, posting on facebook about what is going on. so now, we're talking about really out of control, something in a mess can actual [ inaudible ] understand what is going on, something really fast that are taking them to the israeli check points, throwing stones and now to the knives, so really it's scary. >> can i suggest to you as well, perhaps that has to come with what you are outlining for us, a big sense of responsibility. i want to play you one video.

it's one and a second israeli soldier interacting with what looks like a young palestinian girl. for the israelis the use of social media in this way by the palestinians is a big weapon that they potentially are going to suffer from, because somebody there obviously filmed it on their smartphone, they up load it on youtube, and the international news channels pick it up and run with it. >> exactly. and now this is why people and politicians, and analysts talking about something called [ inaudible ] or the story world, or something [ inaudible ] so what is happening, exactly. for example, if now i open my facebook page i will see full of movies, photos describing [ inaudible ] imagine a kid watching this type of things, now people here [ inaudible ]

talking about anger, talking about revenge, so all of these kinds of words now, really people turning this into action, but it's not only palestinians [ inaudible ] the israelis now, even the soldiers, they are taking photos and making palestinians really angry, for example, two cousins from the same family [ inaudible ] because the israeli news said that they tried to stab two soldiers with a knife or whatever, all of this kind of [ inaudible ] that they are using now. both sides now really cannot control what is happening if a child is watching this. and for example, today nine -- nine children injured aged between 13 and 19, imagine that. so, for example, i asked several children about what you tell your family when you go to school? they said we tell them that we

are going to school, but actually they are going to throw stones on soldiers, because the day before -- like two hours they were watching what is happening on facebook. >> okay. many thanks. palestinian teenagers in the occupied west bank live under the constant threat of israeli crackdowns. the daily insecurity and humiliation have are grown to anger, frustration, and at times violence. hoda abdel hamid. >> reporter: i wish to wake up in a jerusalem at peace. for how long will our blood run? for him, rapping is the best way to express how he feels. >> translator: life in the old city has become very difficult to those of my age. we like to go out, but now we can't do anything, it's too

depravation and lack of hope that is at the core of the anger among so many palestinian youth, and that bottled up anger and frustration sometimes translates into acts of violence. it's what happened to these two cousins of 15 and 13, who on october 12th after school stabbed two israelis. one died and the other was detained. >> and he describes a situation when -- while his older -- 15-year-old cousin addresses him one or two days before, and tells him, we should be -- we should be martyrs, because life is so bad. we have no future. and i don't see any horizon. in his affidavit from the 14th of october, still in the hospital.
