Three Israelis were killed in separate stabbing attacks by Palestinians in Jerusalem on Tuesday.
Two Israelis were killed in Jerusalem when two Palestinians with a gun and knives attacked passengers on a bus, while another Israeli was killed when an assailant stabbed him at a separate bus stop, according to VOA News.
A Palestinian youth was also shot dead by Israeli soldiers during protests in Bethlehem, West Bank.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Israel would settle its account with "murderers and those who want to kill, and anyone who helps them," according to Jerusalem Post. He accused Palestine Authority President Mahmoud Abbas of spreading lies and inciting violence.
"You must fight the extremists who are causing civilians to pay the highest price. The wild and deceitful indictment against us continues," Netanyahu said.
The United States Secretary of State John Kerry condemned the terror attacks against Israelis, saying that he will travel to Middle East and hold talks with both sides.
"I am not going to point fingers [at the culprits] from afar. This is a revolving cycle that damages the future for everybody...but when I see violence like the killing of three innocent Israelis I am going to condemn it - like we condemned the settler violence against a Palestinian family," Kerry said at a press conference on Tuesday in Washington, according to Haaretz.
