Tel Aviv, November 10 – A Palestinian youth at a Tel Aviv train station was arrested today after mistakenly stabbing an Israeli soldier and unintentionally grabbing the man’s weapon, police report.

The youth, from the west Bank town of Nablus, accidentally wrestled with the soldier after unwittingly attempting to seize the soldier’s rifle. The two scuffled, and after a short while the Palestinian accidentally stabbed him in the abdomen with a knife he was accidentally carrying. The soldier later succumbed to his injuries at the hospital, and the stabber accidentally fled to an abandoned building several hundred meters from the train station. Police found him there and placed him under arrest.

The incident comes after several other accidents involving Palestinian men accidentally injuring or killing Jews, but it marks the first such accident in Tel Aviv. Two weeks ago, a Palestinian man accidentally drove his car off the road and onto a train platform, where he accidentally drove along the length of the platform and accidentally took direct aim at people waiting for the light rail. Two people were killed, including a three-month-old baby.

Last week, another Palestinian man in Jerusalem accidentally aimed his car at a group of border policemen, killing one. Both accidental drivers were shot and killed at the respective scenes.

Earlier, a third Palestinian accidentally shot a Jewish activist in the chest four times. Pursued by police, the suspect accidentally fired at them, as well, and was killed in the ensuing firefight.

The deadly incidents come against the backdrop of heightened tensions between Jews and Arabs in Jerusalem and around Israel. The Jerusalem accidents occurred while Palestinians have been accidentally attacking Jews for attempting to gain access to the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site. Increasing the unrest, Israeli police shot an Arab youth who was accidentally wielding a knife and accidentally threatening them with it. The youth died of his injuries, and many Arab communities accidentally erupted in protest over the shooting.

In the meantime, Palestinian leaders have been accidentally calling for more such accidental attacks against Jews. In the Israeli Arab town of Taybeh last night, a Jew was accidentally set upon by an angry mob and his car accidentally torched; several bystanders managed to accidentally rescue him from near-certain injury.

Some media outlets accidentally reported these events as terrorist attacks.
