Palestinian teens stab, kill Israeli in West Bank supermarket

Two Palestinian 14-year-olds stabbed and killed an Israeli in a packed supermarket in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, Israeli and Palestinian officials said, as a five-month wave of bloodshed shows no sign of abating.

An armed civilian shot the two teens, who were taken for treatment at Israeli hospitals in Jerusalem, the Israeli military said. Palestinian officials said both were 14.

A witness named only as Uziel told Army Radio the supermarket was packed at the time with Israeli and Palestinian shoppers.

"We heard screaming and it was clear there was an attack ... Civilians and soldiers began running and shot one (attacker) ... and then the another," he said. "Everyone was shocked at how young they were."
