A 16-year-old Palestinian girl tried to carry out a stabbing attack Sunday near the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba in the occupied West Bank before being shot, Israeli and Palestinian officials said.

"A Palestinian armed with a knife attempted to stab a pedestrian in Hebron," the Israeli military said in a statement.

Three Palestinians were killed Friday in the occupied West Bank and in the Gaza Strip, one after allegedly attempting to run down Israeli soldiers and the others in clashes with troops.

Palestinian youths fought Israeli forces near the northern entrance of the West Bank city of Hebron, and the soldiers responded with live fire, witnesses said.

Israeli forces have arrested an alleged member of the militant group Hamas on suspicion of running over four Israeli soldiers, leaving one in serious condition, the army said on Friday.

Under fire for anti-Muslim remarks, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said Thursday he was postponing a planned trip to Israel because he didn't want to put pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump had been scheduled to meet with Netanyahu on December 28, but changed his plans after his call for a ban on Muslims entering the United States met with a chorus of international condemnation.

Egypt has released an Israeli who spent 15 years in prison for spying, while Israel has freed two Egyptians, officials said Thursday amid improved ties between the two states.

All three were said to have served their full terms and it was unclear whether their imprisonment could have been further extended or if their releases resulted from negotiations.

Israel and the United States on Thursday successfully tested a ballistic missile interceptor as the Jewish state seeks to upgrade its defenses in the face of regional threats, officials said.

Two Israelis were stabbed in Hebron in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, with one of them seriously wounded, and the Palestinian attacker was shot dead, the Israeli police and army said.

An initial statement from the military said the stabbing occurred at a settlement near Hebron, but authorities later clarified that it was inside the city.

Israeli soldiers shot dead a 19-year-old Palestinian during a raid at a refugee camp in the West Bank town of Bethlehem on Tuesday, Palestinian medics said.

A prominent Palestinian lawmaker has been jailed for 15 months by an Israeli military court, the military confirmed on Monday.

An Israeli air raid early Monday struck a Hamas training camp in the northern Gaza Strip in response to shots fired at Israeli patrol vehicles along the border, with no injuries reported, officials said.

Hamas security sources said two rockets hit a training camp for its armed wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, east of Gaza City in the Zeitoun neighborhood, with no one there at the time.
