Jerusalem, October 6 (RHC)-- Israel has barred Palestinians from entering Jerusalem’s Old City unless they live in the neighborhood, amid escalating clashes in Jerusalem and across the occupied West Bank. This comes after two Israeli men were stabbed to death in Jerusalem over the weekend by a Palestinian man who was later killed by police.

Israeli troops also shot and killed a Palestinian teenager in the West Bank on Sunday. The Red Crescent says more than 90 Palestinians have been shot and wounded by Israeli security forces or Jewish settlers with either live ammunition or rubber-coated steel bullets since the weekend.

Isreali Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is vowing -- in his words -- "a fight to the death against Palestinian terror."
