The Latest: Israeli Minister: No Funerals for Dead Attackers

Wednesday, 14 October 2015 05:24 AM EDT

JERUSALEM (AP) — The latest developments in ongoing violence between Palestinians and Israelis (all times local):

11:15 a.m.

Israel's internal security minister says the bodies of dead Palestinian attackers should not be returned to their families for burial.

Gilad Erdan says funeral processions of Palestinians who killed Israelis often turn into "an exhibition of support for terror and incitement to murder."

Erdan says Wednesday that Israel should not allow them to "enjoy respect and ceremonies" after their deaths. He suggests that Palestinian attackers be buried without fanfare in distant cemeteries where previous Palestinian killers have been buried.

Funerals of Palestinians are a frequent flashpoint for clashes and often include calls for revenge.

9:45 a.m.

Israel's military says it is beginning to deploy hundreds of troops to assist police forces in Israeli cities.

Wednesday's move is the first implementation of measures decided upon by Israel's security cabinet to combat a rash of Palestinian shooting and stabbing attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers.

The cabinet met late into the night and released details of the new measures early Wednesday morning. Steps approved include allowing police to impose a closure on points of friction or incitement according to security assessments. Many of the recent attackers have come from Arab areas of Jerusalem.

The announcement came after a particularly bloody day in which a pair of Palestinian stabbing and shooting attacks in Jerusalem killed three Israelis. Three Palestinians, including two attackers, were also killed.

Eight Israelis and 27 Palestinians have died in a month of Israeli-Palestinian unrest.
