A Palestinian terrorist was shot and killed on Tuesday while trying to attack Israeli soldiers with a meat cleaver near the Etzion Bloc of Jewish settlements south of Jerusalem.

The Corona crisis has resulted in a major decrease in terrorist incidents over the past year. But in recent weeks Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers have been on the rise.
