Female American-Israeli police officer, who was stabbed by 16-year-old Palestinian boy, dies

A day after more than 150 people were injured due to violent clashes in Israel's Tel Aviv between Eritrean government supporters celebrating an Eritrea Day event and opponents of President Isaias Afwerki, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Sunday (September 3) said Israel is considering deporting 1,000 Eritreans who participated in the "riots".

A day after more than 150 people were injured due to violent clashes in Israel's Tel Aviv between Eritrean government supporters celebrating an Eritrea Day event and opponents of President Isaias Afwerki, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Sunday (September 3) said Israel is considering deporting 1,000 Eritreans who participated in the "riots". A report by the Times of Israel early Sunday said that a police officer was in serious condition after doctors removed part of a camping stove from his head which was apparently thrown at him. The officer was hospitalised at Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, and he was among the 50 officers who were injured during the clashes that broke out during an event organised by the Eritrean embassy to mark Revolution Day. Earlier, Israeli medical officials said that over 114 people had been treated for injuries, including about 30 police officers. Police fired stun grenades to break up the clashes, while some protesters hurled stones at police and set fire to trash bins. Videos shared on social media showed Eritrean government supporters beating anti-government protesters. Israeli PM about the violence in Tel Aviv A day after the violent clashes broke out in the Israeli financial capital, the Israeli PM said that the protesters had crossed a "red line". "At the special ministerial committee I established today, we asked for a few swift measures, including expelling a thousand regime supporters who took part in these riots," Netanyahu said, in a statement. He added, "They cannot of course claim to be refugees. They support this regime. If they support it so much, they can return to the country of their origin." Police arrest 39 suspects for assaulting officers Citing police, a report by the news agency AFP said that 39 suspects were arrested for assaulting and throwing stones at the officers. Some of these suspects were carrying "weapons, tear gas, and an electrical stun gun." The Police further said they were reinforcing their personnel in Tel Aviv. Eritrea has been led by authoritarian President Isaias Afwerki since its formal declaration of independence in 1993. Being one of the most isolated sites in the world, Eritrea is near the bottom of the global rankings for press freedom, human rights, civil liberties, and economic development. According to Assaf, an organisation that aids refugees, around 25,500 Eritrean asylum seekers currently live in Israel. Most of these asylum-seekers fled to Israel over its border with Egypt. They have said they will face persecution if they are repatriated. (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

Israel considers deporting 1,000 Eritreans involved in clashes which left over 150 people wounded

A Palestinian teenager was shot dead by an Israeli police officer after he stabbed and injured a civilian at a light rail station in Jerusalem on Thursday (August 31), said Israeli police and medics. 
 
This is the latest incident that occurred amid increasing violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 
 
"A suspect armed with a knife committed a terrorist attack near Shivtei Israel light rail station in Jerusalem," said Israeli police in a statement. "The suspect was neutralised on the spot," it added. 
 
A border police officer, who was inside a moving tram, saw the attack as it occurred and took action, said the police. He "promptly disembarked from the train and fired", hitting the suspect, they stated.

Speaking to AFP, police spokesman Dean Elsdunne said that the "minor" attacker was from east Jerusalem, which is a predominantly Palestinian area. 
 
The 14-year-old teenager was from east Jerusalem's Beit Hanina neighbourhood and he was pronounced dead by the medical officials, he said.

<h2>Man stabbed by teenage attacker hospitalised</h2>

The Magen David Adom emergency service stated that they treated a 25-year-old man who was stabbed in the back. The injured man was later taken to the hospital. As per a statement issued by Shaare Zedek Hospital, the wounded man was in a "stable" condition. 
 
Dozens of Israeli security personnel had gathered at the station where many ultra-Orthodox Jews, wearing white shirts and black suits, were also present, as reported by an AFP correspondent. The body of the attacker kept on the ground and wrapped in a blanket was seen by an AFP photographer. 
 
Ice was used by some security officers to clean the site where blood stains were still present. Palestinian militant group Hamas, which has the Gaza Strip under its control, said that a “heroic” operation was carried out by the attacker at the tram station.

Israeli police kill teenage attacker after stabbing incident in Jerusalem

The Israeli police clashed with Palestinians at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque a second time on Wednesday (April 5) as the confrontations triggered a cross-border exchange of fire in Gaza and stoked fears of further violence. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, six people were injured, the news agency Reuters reported. The staff of the Waqf, the Jordanian-appointed Islamic organisation managing the complex, said that in the second instance, the police entered the mosque compound late at night and tried to evacuate worshippers, using stun grenades and firing rubber bullets.&nbsp;

Witnesses, meanwhile, said that worshippers threw objects at the police. Issuing a statement, the police said that dozens of youngsters brought rocks and firecrackers into the mosque and had tried to barricade themselves inside. But Waqf said the police entered the mosque before prayers were over.&nbsp;

“Israel’s raid into Al-Aqsa mosque, its assault on worshippers, is a slap to recent US efforts which tried to create calm and stability during the month of Ramadan,” a spokesperson for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said.&nbsp;

Earlier on Wednesday, the Israeli police entered the mosque compound to dislodge agitators. The police said it was forced to enter the compound after agitators locked themselves inside the mosque with fireworks, sticks, and stones. Twelve people were injured in this clash, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent while two Israeli police officers were hurt.&nbsp;

Following the first clash,&nbsp;Palestinian militants fired at least nine rockets from Gaza into Israel, drawing&nbsp;air strikes that Jerusalem said targeted weapon production sites for Hamas. No casualties were reported on either side of the Gaza border, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

And just before the second clash,&nbsp;&nbsp;two more rockets were fired from Gaza. Of these,&nbsp;one fell short and the other in an open space, the Israeli military said.&nbsp;

Clashes erupt again at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque, six injured

In the latest outbreak of violence near Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque, which is revered by Muslims and Jews alike, Israeli police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades at Palestinian youngsters throwing rocks.

At least 42 Palestinians were hurt in early morning confrontations on Friday at Islam's third holiest shrine, according to the Palestine Red Crescent.

When hundreds of people began throwing rocks and pyrotechnics, especially in the direction of the Western Wall, where Jewish worshippers gather, Israeli police said they intervened.

"We will continue to act decisively against rioters and outlaws for the public safety and security," police said in a statement.

There were almost daily confrontations at the mosque this month when Ramadan overlapped with the Jewish celebration of Passover, which brought hundreds of thousands of Muslims and Jews to the heavily policed site in the old city.

The violence had subsided this week following the end of Passover and Israel's suspension of Jewish visits to the massive esplanade, which houses the golden seventh-century Dome of the Rock and the eighth-century al-Aqsa mosque.

The compound is the holiest site in Judaism and contains the ruins of two ancient Jewish temples.

Ramadan will end next week, and massive crowds are expected at al-Aqsa mosque on the final Friday of the fasting month.

Officials in Israel have blamed this month's tensions on Islamist groups, particularly Hamas, which administers the Palestinian enclave of Gaza, for encouraging teenagers to create disturbances in order to incite Muslim world fury against Israel.

"For the past hour, the site has been quiet and (Muslim) worshippers are safely entering (the compound)" police said.

But tensions remain high at the site in the heart of Jerusalem's old, walled city, part of Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem.

Over the past two weeks, nearly 300 Palestinians have been injured in clashes at the Al-Aqsa compound, Islam's third-holiest site which is the most holy site for Jews, who call it the Temple Mount.

Israel's incursions into the site during Ramadan have raised global concern, but the Jewish state has insisted it was compelled to act against operatives from the Islamist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad who were seeking to spark widespread unrest across Jerusalem.

In an apparent attempt to ease tensions, Israel's Foreign Minister, Yair Lapid, has stressed that the government was committed to the status quo at the compound, meaning an adherence to the long-standing convention that only Muslims are allowed to pray there.

Why are officers of the Israeli police force travelling all the way to a nondescript town in north Kerala in frequent intervals?

Because, their elegant light blue, long-sleeve uniform shirts are being stitched at an apparel unit in Kannur, which has the glorious tradition of handloom making and textile export.

Hundreds of tailors at the Maryan Apparel Pvt Limited, operating at the industrial park at Valiyavelicham in the district, are toiling hard to get the smart looking uniforms ready for the Israel police force.

They not only stitch the double-pocket shirts but also design and attach the trademark emblems on its sleeves.

The local dressmakers have been supplying nearly one lakh shirts annually to the Israeli police for the last three years.

Owned by Thodupuzha-based businessman Thomas Olickal, the company also bagged the orders for supplying uniforms for Kuwait's fire service and national guard.

If everything goes as planned, the Maryan Apparel would soon start stitching uniforms for the Philippine Army, a top company official said.

"We are supplying uniform shirts to the Israeli police- both men and women officers- for the last three years," Sijin Kumar, accounts and administration manger of the company said.

"Earlier, we used to supply trousers also. But, the order for it was bagged by a Chinese firm recently. We hope that we will get the contract back at the earliest and discussions are going on in this regard," he said.

Launched at the state-run Kinfra Park here in 2006, the company specialises in uniforms of army men, police personnel, security officers and health service workers of various countries across the globe.

It also supplies school uniforms, dress for supermarket staff, doctors' coats, coveralls, corporate wears and so on.

In 2008, the apparel unit was shifted to Kannur with an objective to provide employment to local people who had become jobless due to the decline of the traditional beedi sector there.

Kumar said the Israeli officials are very particular about the quality of the material and even the minute details of the stitching and embroidery.

"They visit the stitching unit at frequent intervals to monitor the process. Recently, they entrusted the task of monitoring with a company in Tamil Nadu and their team come here once in a month to check the quality of the work," Factory Manager, Shaneesh T V said.

The number of uniforms stitched at the unit would depend on their requirements.

Generally, it would be between 50,000-1,00,000 annually, he said.

The material for the uniform of Israel police is imported from the US.

The cloth, produced at the company's own mill in Mumbai, would also be used at times.

The apparel unit that employs 850 people, majority of them women, are planning to expand its operations in the coming years.

But, the lack of sufficient trained and skilled manpower is a major cause of concern for the company authorities.

Samsung Electronic&nbsp;Co Ltd&#39;s investigation into what caused some Galaxy Note 7s to catch fire has concluded that the battery was the main reason, a person familiar with the matter said.&nbsp;

The world&#39;s biggest smartphone maker will likely announce the results of the investigation on January 23, a day before it announces detailed fourth-quarter earnings results, said the person who was not authorised to speak publicly on the matter and declined to be identified.&nbsp;

The firm will also announce new measures it is taking to avoid a repeat of the product safety failures in its future devices, the person said.&nbsp;A Samsung spokesman declined to comment.

After one of the biggest product safety failures in tech history, the company is keen to reassure that its devices are safe ahead of the launch of flagship Galaxy S8 smartphones expected sometime in the first half of this year.&nbsp; 
Investors and analysts say it is critical for Samsung to provide a detailed, convincing explanation on what went wrong with the Note 7 phones and how it will prevent such problems from recurring.

The source said&nbsp;that Samsung was able to replicate the fires during its investigation and that the cause could not be explained by hardware design or software-related matters. Samsung was forced to scrap the Note 7 smartphones in October after failing to fix the problems following an initial recall, resulting in&nbsp;$5.2 billion&nbsp;blow to its operating profit over three quarters.&nbsp;
