A Palestinian teen stabbed an IDF soldier to death Wednesday morning inside a bus at the Afula bus station.

The soldier was named as 19-year-old Private Eden Atias, a resident of Nazareth Illit who had enlisted in the army a few weeks prior to the attack. He was reportedly on his way back to his base when he was murdered.

National Police Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the soldier was critically wounded at the scene and taken to the Valley Regional Hospital in Afula, where he died shortly thereafter.

Rosenfeld added that the attack is being treated as ideologically-motivated, as the man told investigators that he stabbed the soldiers because he has relatives in prison in Israel.

Magen David Adom paramedics said that at 8:38 am they received a call that a young man had been stabbed inside a bus at the Afula bus station. When they arrived they said they found the victim, “an 18-year-old youth with stab wounds across his body” in critical condition.

Tunisian police kill Islamist militant after clashes close to Libya

Latest incident a sign of increased tensions after last month’s suicide attack in Sousse

Tunis, Reuters—Tunisian police killed an Islamist militant and wounded two others on Tuesday, the Interior Ministry said, after clashes in a southern city close to the border with Libya, where authorities say Tunisian militants are being trained and armed.

Tunisia’s government has increased security operations after a suicide bomber blew himself up in the tourist resort of Sousse last month, the first such assault in more than a decade.

“The security forces killed one terrorist, wounded two others and arrested the rest of the group after a confrontation with militants hiding in a house in [the city of] Kebeli,” said Mohamed Ali Aroui, a spokesman for the interior ministry.

He later said eight people had been arrested and five cars seized, including one that he said was rigged up with a bomb.

Two members of the security forces were wounded during the clashes which took place at dawn on Tuesday.

Since an uprising ousted leader Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali nearly three years ago, Tunisia has faced a widening split over the role of political Islam in one of the most secular countries in the Muslim world.

But the assassination of two secular opposition leaders this year by Islamist militants sparked protests by opposition parties which demanded that the ruling moderate Islamist party, Ennahda, resign because it was too soft on hard-liners.

Militant Killed, 8 Arrested in Tunisia Clash

TUNIS, Tunisia November 12, 2013 (AP)

Special forces units from Tunisia’s National Guard killed a suspected militant and arrested eight others in an early morning operation Tuesday deep in the desert south of the country, the Interior Ministry announced.

Following a failed suicide bomb attack on a hotel late last month, security forces have been carrying out operations around the country seeking out terrorist groups.

Tunisia is struggling with a democratic transition after it kicked off the Arab Spring by overthrowing its dictator in 2011. Since then, there has been a rise in extremist Islamic groups with al-Qaida links.

The operation represents the first in the area of Kebili, deep in the southern deserts and the statement said security forces descended on a house where they fought with the “suspected terrorists.”

    18-year-old Israeli soldier stabbed to death by 16-yr old terrorist from Jenin.
    The lefty Israeli media are wonder if this was independent or “organized”.
    In fact, the whole PA society is awash in anti-Israel propaganda and messages supporting terror. And when Israelis/Jews are called sons of apes and pigs day after day in schools and the media, what’s the big deal? This Arab terrorist wanted to either find work or kill an Israeli. Why? Because either way he supports his family. And since his family includes other jailed terrorists, it’s a tradition! See this post for how Sweden and others help support terror by funding prisoners’ families:
