JERUSALEM (AP) — A rash of Palestinian stabbing attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers in recent weeks has killed eight Israelis and at least 29 Palestinians. Tensions were fueled by Palestinian allegations that Israel plans to change the delicate arrangement at the hilltop compound, sacred to both Muslims and Jews. Israel has adamantly denied the allegations and accused Palestinian leaders of inciting the violence and spreading lies over the shrines. Violence was initially confined to east Jerusalem and the West Bank — territories Israel captured from Jordan in the 1967 war and claimed by the Palestinians for a future state — but later spread to Israeli cities in the form of deadly stabbing attacks. Tensions have been high since U.S.-brokered peace talks collapsed and a 50-day war with Gaza's Islamic militant Hamas rulers last year. Israeli leaders condemned the attack across the political spectrum and a crackdown on Jewish extremists was ordered. Palestinians complain that Palestinian attackers are quickly arrested but no suspects in the arson have been officially charged, although some known extremists have been detained. August 6: A Palestinian motorist rammed his car into Israeli soldiers in the West Bank, wounding three before he was shot by Israeli troops. President Mahmoud Abbas announced in a hard-line speech at the U.N.
