the alleged attacker was shot and killed by israel forces the victims are set to be foreign tourists. it's the latest incident in a week of escalating tensions in the region. huddled, the hamid has more from occupied east jerusalem. the latest we have heard is that this was a combined ramming and shooting attack that happened on the water from, from an ad in tel aviv. it was carried out by a man from central israel, who had no previous criminal record. now, what happened exactly is still a bit confusing to understand. we do know that this man was driving a car. he ran into a group of 2 ways that happened to be on that promenade. about 6 of them were wounded and one of them an italian national, died at some point the car of the attacker overturned and we see this
2:03 am
video of the pull of the attacker on the ground and the police shooting them, killing him or how these really call it a neutralizing him, but in the latest statement, police is saying the day notice after the car overturn before the car return is not clear that this attacker was reaching out for what they thought is a weapon. and that's why they neutralize it. that bit of the statement is quite confusing, but they are calling it a combined ramming and shooting attack. and we do know that one italian 2 is that it was previously said that he died from a gun would. now they are saying that he died back from the car ramming injure him . so certainly there are points i think that the police are still trying to piece together to get the full version and it was so we get the full image of what
2:04 am
happened there. retiring television comes ours off to to british, israeli woman was shot dead and another was seriously injured. in the occupied west bank attorney army says the attackers targeted a vehicle near an illegal settlement in the jordan valley. foreign minister benjamin netanyahu visited the scene of the attack shortly afterwards. the hallmark, i can only say one thing, our enemies are putting us to the test again. and once again, they will discover, even in this test, that we stand together united, confident in our righteousness. and we will act together with the complete support of our forces, the i d, f, and the security forces. the soon after that attack, israeli settlers gathered at different check points across the occupied wire. spank palestinians said there would attacks and some vehicles, an alley, or on friday. israel used for some palestinian worshippers for the 3rd day and occupied east jerusalem. they made their way to our loc, some last hundreds of people later gathered in the home phone to protest. russell
2:05 am
solder was an occupied east, jerusalem shortly after friday prayers. he said this report, this is the damascus gate of the old city that leads to al oxer compound. early in the morning, people started to come here, towns of thousands of palestinians put for me there friday prayer. the 1st friday prayer after the violence broke out in alex saw compound of the israeli security forces stormed into the mosque and have arrested around $400.00 palestinians. nothing above goodness, mother, but there is lots of pressure here. it's very difficult and hard to get here. the crowd was huge, but they didn't let everyone in. but for the majority, 2 of them coming to alex moore's could to day was not easy because his realistically the forces has set up hands off the check points across this city. and every one coming to alexa compound to perform the friday pre needed to go to do
2:06 am
that check points. and the palestinians who are coming from on the west bank or gazette street, they need to be about 55 years old. they mentorship of a death will and i want to enter with my kids. i want to come to jerusalem and to i'll access to pray. i want to visit around and take them to the zoo, them any time freely. but this is impossible to hear. the friday pre to date has ended up peacefully. however, the situation remains fragile and tense. many palestinians here are seen that if the israeli government pleased to see 2 scores of alex our compound, they're not going to accept that. and that is going to 3, go to the pension. again, listen said that al jazeera occupied is jerusalem, where they are like so. compound is one of the most volatile flashpoints in occupied east jerusalem for muslims. it contains 2 of his lines, holy sites. they are like some mosque and the dome of the rock, jews call it
2:07 am
a temple mount, reviewing it as their 1st temple, the prey of the western wall. in 1957 jordan and israel agreed that a so called walk for islamic trust controls the compound. while israel controls external security only muslims are allowed to pray in the mosque while jews can pray outside the compound. at the western wall. the walk follows non bosoms to visit the con bone 5 days each week. under its supervision, tourists are allowed in a policy and say they're concerned that the site's muslim identity is under threat from increasing attempts by ultra white wing jewish groups attempting to pray their . that's bringing jamal nestle, he speaks for the palestine new father political party is a member of its revolutionary council. he's joining us from rome. thank you very much. indeed for being with us. we appear to be in a cycle at the moment where whatever happens or like some mosque then leads to very often violent conflicts, violent incidents elsewhere. i'm in the region. is there a way that you can see all of a di,
2:08 am
escalating the situation at alaska that would avoid this ripple effect of violence? maybe i should start learning how to not provoke the emotions and feelings and dignity about as soon as, especially when it comes to alex almost is what rose from its own experience with this hot side of muslims that every time it tries to violate the rights of the scene, it's in this place, this would always be finding flames in the, in the region of the hall. and we've just seen this. i believe these are in the government knows this, this also, but they want this condition or violence, particularly at this point in time. because the context in which these government is, is having know is the government is under pressure because it wants to do this
2:09 am
judicial reform and they want to drive the protesters back home using fear and a legit existential threat. so that they get rid of the demonstrators, intel to be the best way to do this from their point of view is to, to have a war started in the region. so they are using scaring tactics against their own people, thereby violating also there, i suppose, since in the other sites, germs at him, in your assessment, given that benjamin netanyahu now has a coalition which has a significant far right element to it. at what we're seeing now, how does this compare to what has happened at similar times in the past, under different structures of government in israel? i hope that there is some level of american pressure over these only government. i do believe that it is, it is really government interested in having
2:10 am
a larger type of war in the region right now because they are interested in changing, changing the entire climate of their internal politics. but i have the feeling that there is some american pressure on them, and that's a major difference to other times. and yet i still hope that this pressure will be more effective. and i believe it is. i believe it is time for the american administration to make mr. nelson, you know, understand that the only way to go ahead from here is for these are only government to start a political process with the policy and liberation organization to below is president, mom with our bus. he's the only one who can deliver when it comes to peace in the name of the seniors, but the requirements of peace, or is willing to recognize the right, the scenes to self determination and put an end,
2:11 am
putting an end to this continuing humiliation of their own feelings, especially when it comes to germany, because by the seniors will not accept this. israel says that it's responding to threats from palestinians, particularly inside. they are like some mosque we saw that are being used as a, as a rationale back on wednesday when the, the 1st rate took place. what responsibility to parties like he was like hum us who would be on group that one's garza like the palestinian 40, have in order to try to encourage palestinians not to respond to what they would regard as provocations from israel, and therefore take responsibility for reducing the tension, i mean, you probably seen it by yourself. these read you were these riley army, all these riley police house strike the policy and worshippers inside the mosque. and no one can understand or explain what such a police force heavily armed has to,
2:12 am
has to do inside a mosque. the people go to the mosque, definitely not in order for them to, to manufacture weapons or explosives or whatever people go to the most to pray. and this is the holy month of ramadan, a particular month for the muslims to, to, to, to pray, to pray as they please. and it is a mosque. it is a place for the muslims. what does the israeli police have to look for inside the most? in fact, the mere presence of these really police inside this place is an amazing, amazing provocation to the feeling and endangering the safety of the people inside the most. so once the people who are inside the mosque, the worshippers see this violent terrorist behavior of these ran the police. we all know this is that brush fascist believe. but he's force. and when they,
2:13 am
when the people see this, they feel threatened because these whale is used stun starts downgrade son. they use all types of weapons to scare the people and injure them, starting beating them. you don't have to do this inside the mosque when you're not there to pray. geminus all. thank you very much indeed for being with us all and i'll just thank you. democrat and republican leaders of the u. s. senate of issued a rare joint statement, demanding the immediate release of a wall street journal reporter arrested in russia last week. you are citizen, ellen gosh, coverage has pleaded not guilty to charges of spying. is being held for 2 months in pre trial detention following his arrest the kremlin said he had been caught red handed. our white house correspond, kimberly hoggard has more from the get go. as soon as the white house learned about the detention of haven't girl coach a,
