JERUSALEM: A Palestinian girl whose family faces eviction by Israel from an East Jerusalem neighbourhood was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of stabbing a Jewish settler in front of her children, residents and police said.
Long-running tensions in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah have rallied Palestinians and last May stoked a surge in fighting between Israel and Gaza's Hamas. Cohen, who lives across from the alleged assailant, was admitted to hospital with a 30cm -long knife lodged in her back, a doctor said."She looked at me. I was certain she was waiting for a classmate," Cohen said as she sat on a sofa with two small children in her lap."They are neighbours - this kind of thing isn't supposed to happen."
