Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted on Sunday a "significant decline" in Palestinian attacks on Israelis, after six months of near-daily violence that has cost more than 200 lives.
 

Israeli prosecutors filed murder charges on Jan. 3 against a man and a minor for an arson attack in the occupied West Bank that killed three members of a Palestinian family and helped fuel the fiercest eruption of street violence in years. 

The attack on July 31 killed 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh and his parents Saad and Riham. 

Wedding guests in Jerusalem celebrate the wedding by dancing with guns and knives. One guests dances with a knife pierced through a picture of Ali Dawabsheh, an 18-month-old who died with his parents when their home in the village of Duma in the occupied Westbank was torched in July.

Israeli officials describe the attack as Jewish terrorism.

Video footage of Jewish zealots mocking the death by arson of a Palestinian baby has sparked outrage in Israel, even as some on the far right saw in the leak a possible bid to justify tough interrogation of suspects in the killing. 

Israeli soldiers shot dead a 19-year-old Palestinian as clashes broke out during a raid at a refugee camp in the West Bank town of Bethlehem on Dec. 8, Palestinian medics and the Israeli army said.

After the incident at the Dheisheh refugee camp, clashes also broke out at Aida, another camp in Bethlehem, official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.    

European authorities have taken action to shut down a cyber espionage operation linked to Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard in the first operation of its kind since Tehran signed a nuclear treaty, according to security researchers who located computers used to launch attacks.

Israeli troops arrested one of the top West Bank leaders of Islamist group Hamas in an overnight raid near Ramallah, the army said on Oct. 20. 

Israeli police said on July 12 they have arrested several Jewish suspects over an arson attack last month at a shrine where Christians believe Jesus performed the miracle of loaves and fishes.

The Israeli air force carried out four strikes on militant targets in the Gaza Strip early May 27, Palestinian eyewitnesses said, hours after a cross-border rocket attack on the Jewish state.

Israel will resume the transfer of tax revenues levied on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, which had been suspended since January.

The re-elected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu justified this move with rising humanitarian concerns, the deteriorating situation in the Middle East and the rise of extremism.
