. >> well, the week of violence in the occupied west bank and in east jerusalem has spread to the gaza strip. there israeli soldiers killed six palestinians on friday. elsewhere four arabs were stabbed by israeli in the southern city of demona. an israeli teenager and police officer died in separate attacks. >> it took six days to receive the body after the stabbing. his funeral was a show of solidarity and defiance. defiance that turned to violence. it all comes as tension remains over the al aqsa mosque compound. the tension is over jews being allowed to enter the compound but not pray. the israelis say that the status quo remains unchanged, but in the protesters there is little trust in the words of the prime minister. >> there is no sign of the situation easing up. the palestinians were able to spread out in those fields, past the position of the israeli army. now similar clashes were happening elsewhere in the west bank and also in gaza. >> protesters came out in support of the occupied west bank. they hurled rocks at the fence that separates both sides. >> the occupation forces t

beefed up security measures were immediately visible was on the fracture line that divides west jerusalem from occupied east jerusalem. this morning, hours after the israeli security cabinet made announcement, all of those security measures, already israeli forces were starting to cordon off and moving in around some of the east jerusalem palestinian neighborhoods to try to restrict the movement of residents there coming across into the city, particularly those neighborhoods where the alleged attackers have come from, and then this evening, as night fell, the police were setting up mobile checkpoints to try to restrict traffic movements between east jerusalem and the rest. and certainly stopping what they believed were suspicious looking vehicles, patting down passengers and drivers and checking the vehicles they had. thethemselves, butcertainly, wee again a violent day, and street stabbings on the other. >> chaos in the streets of bethlehem in the occupied west bank. demonstrators crashed with the army on wednesday after the funeral. the 27-year-old was shot and killed by israeli forces, while protest

latest in a wave of protests that have been going on both in the occupied west bank and also in the occupied portions of east jerusalemven within israel proper itself. the entire context first of all today being friday prayers is religious day for the muslim population, all comes within the general context of tension over access to the al aqsa mosque compound in jerusalem's old city. that mosque compound is a holy site not only for about muslims, but jews at the temple mount. jews have been trying to gain greater rights to visit that compound, fueling suspicions among the palestinian muslim population that the israeli government wants to somehow change the current political arrangement and take more control of the compound and even allow jews to pray there. that is the context, so today, for example, at friday prayers, young muslim men under the age of 40 were not allowed to go to the al aqsa mosque compound, kept behind barriers and forced to pray in the streets. that of course offends the palestinian muslim population almost at the same time in the occupied west bank in the town of bethlehem, there clashes broke out

conflict several conflict points within the occupied west bank, and clashes north and very intense clashes and the flash point has always been the old city of jerusalem increasingly developments within the occupied west bank and indeed developments in gaza and one being fired from gaza striking israeli territory and no injuries recorded but a crisis of conflict radiating out from the tensions around the old city. >> particular flash compound and hearing about changes in israeli policy regarding that area. >> well, to be very clear there are no formal changes in the stated policy of the israeli government that makes it any different from governments in the past. that being said in 2001 when he walked on the compound of the mosque compound that was for clearly nationalist reasons and being a staunchly secular man and did not attempt to make it a religious right and all the groups are arguing very strongly that it's a religious fight of access to pay off the holy states and this in denial of the official declaration of rabbis and however what i have seen in resent days of those jews coming through and doing the tour up their particular area the bulk of

occupied west bank. we have this update from jerusalem. >>reporter: israeli security forces confirmed to al jazeera that two israeli citizens were found shot dead in what they described as a drive by shooting in the occupied west bank. the shooting took place just before 9:00 p.m. local time near the israeli settlements of itamar which is near the palestinian village of bay fariq. several shots were fired at the car according to security forces. when first responders arrived on the scene, they declared the two adults described as a man and woman in their 30s dead on the scene. however, four children all under the age of ten were unharmed and taken into custody. they were found in that vehicle. now, drive-by shootings like this in the occupied west bank aren't entirely uncommon. the last time we saw something like this was in june of this year when a 25-year-old israeli citizen was shot in the occupied west bank near an illegal settlement as well. but the timing of this shooting of course comes at a particularly tense time. we've seen repeat

israeli forces have shot dead at least two palestinians in another day of violence in occupied east jerusalem and the west bank. a palestinian woman was shot after she allegedly attacked israeli force west a knife. she's been taken to hospital and is in critical condition. earlier a palestinian teenag ter was shot and killed near lion's gate. israeli forces said he tried to stab one officer, they are unhampled. unharmed. two teenage palestinians shot in the same incident. one later died, the other just 13 is said to be seriously wounded. >>> solidarity with palestinians across the west bank and occupied east jerusalem. some on motor bikes also cut through the bother fence ton central gaza strip. israeli forces fired live am nis ammunition and tear gas to disperse them. >>> benjamin netanyahu briefed parliament about the country's security measures. >> translator: we are fighting on all the fronts, we have added forces and border police in jerusalem and all over the country. we are taking responsibility on ourselves, destroying terrorist houses, we are wiping out the people against us and the islamic movem

mike hannah al jazeera west jerusalem. >> there are several protests on going in the occupied west bankand then in bethlehem. now these protests are not very big, but what is more important is to look at who is taking part in these demonstrations that off turn into violence confrontations. these are teenager boys in their mid teens early 20's at the most. schoolboys who come after school with their rock sack on then. they say that they have been watching those videos going viral. they were particularly enranged in what popped up yesterday showing this young boy on the sidewalk being insulted and gassed. well, that has enranged them and they say enough is enough. earlier here, in the city center, there is also a peaceful march by also students girls and boys and they had a chat with them, while they were saying this is the third -- when you press them by the fact that the numbers were so no large, they were saying this is our generation, and we will start it and we will carry on with this. until we get what we want. why are we studies if we don't have freedom. that is one of the may thin

occupied west bank. and indeed here in occupied east jerusalem. and i think really what we're seeing now is an expression not just in these attacks but a level of desperation amongst young people which is very dissimilar to their parents and a different generation who have seen the awful effects on the economy and on lives and on families who are not interested in violence. so we have a sort of social rift going on as well as a political one. it's an incredibly complex situation and on the israeli government side, we have a prime minister who is also under pressure. he's under pressure to deliver some level of normality and right now it's not just the horrendous fear on the streets. it's also the economy that's at stake. it's normal living at stake. peace of mind. and peace for families trying to live an ordinary life. >> andrew simmons in west jerusalem, thank you. >>> in two separate attacks, new delhi police say a 2 year old girl was raped and dumped in a park near her home and a 5 year old was gang raped in a neighbors home. the toddler was pl
