Major General Yoav Mordechai told BBC Arabic: “We hope that Jordan and other Arab nations can suggest another security solution for this [problem],” Mordechai said, referring to the metal detectors. Hours later, three Israelis were stabbed to death while eating dinner in a West Bank settlement. In Jerusalem, Israeli police said they used riot gear to disperse dozens of Palestinians who threw stones and bottles at them. In the West Bank, Israeli forces raided the home of the Palestinian attacker who fatally stabbed the three Israelis and wounded another on Friday, the military said. The stabbing victims were from the fenced-in West Bank settlement of Neve Tsuf.
