Israeli PM's spokesman: Two Palestinians wanted for killing three in Israel apprehended

JERUSALEM, May 8 — Two Palestinians who killed three Israelis in an attack in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish town on Israel’s Independence Day on Thursday have been apprehended, Israeli security forces said in a statement today.

The attack was the latest in a recent upsurge of Israeli-Palestinian violence that has raised fears of a slide back to wider conflict.
