Tel Aviv, October 20 (RHC)-- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is visiting Israel and the Occupied Territories today amid a spate of Palestinian stabbing attacks and an intensified Israeli crackdown.

In the latest violence, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man near Hebron in the occupied West Bank after they say he tried to stab an Israeli soldier.

In a separate incident near Hebron today, an Israeli man was run over and killed by a Palestinian truck driver, who later turned himself in and said it was an accident.

Overnight, Israeli security forces arrested more than 30 Palestinians in the West Bank, including top Hamas official Hassan Yousef, whom the Israeli government accuses of inciting the recent violence.
