Israeli forces shot and killed three Palestinian attackers on Monday after back-to-back shooting and car-ramming attacks near an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, according to the Israeli military.

Two Palestinians, identified the attackers as Qassem Fared Jaber, 31, and Amir Fouad al-Janadi, 22, who both lived in the West Bank city of Hebron, and Yousef Mustafa Tarayrah, 18, from the nearby West Bank town of Bani Na’im.

Since the beginning of October, Palestinian attackers have killed 28 Israelis and two Americans in a series of stabbing, shooting and car-ramming attacks. Israeli forces have killed at least 184 Palestinians, of which Israel says 124 were attackers. The majority of the other victims were shot dead during protests.

The violence has been exacerbated by Israel’s military occupation and by a lack of progress towards a peace settlement between the two sides, the Palestinians say, while Israel says that it is Palestinian incitement, from the Palestinian leadership and by individuals on social media, that is driving the attacks.
