Three Israelis reportedly were killed and one wounded in a stabbing attack in a West Bank settlement north of Ramallah.

Two men and a woman reportedly died of their wounds, while a woman in her 60s was seriously injured in the attack in Halamish, according to The Times of Israel. Israeli media reports said the attacker was shot but survived.

Israel TV’s Channel 10 said the assailant, who entered the home of victims, was in his late teens and had posted on Facebook that he was upset by events at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, where Palestinians and Israeli security forces clashed this week over the Israeli government’s decision to keep in place indefinitely metal detectors at the entrance to the Temple Mount.

He did this because of metal detectors.

1. He didn't do this because of metal detectors. He did this because he's an asshole

and is using his religion as an excuse to spread violence. A religion that I disagree with, but which manages to have a billion followers who don't go around stabbing and murdering.

He entered a home where Shabbat was being celebrated and threatened small children with a knife. He is a terrorist and a coward, and I don't know any decent person who would do that.
