A Palestinian stabbed four Israelis with a screwdriver yesterday, before a soldier shot and killed him. The fresh violence prompted Israel's premier to bar cabinet ministers and legislators from a sensitive Jerusalem holy site at the heart of the latest tensions.

The attack in Tel Aviv was among three new stabbings that left several people wounded.
