JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli security forces are carrying out a massive manhunt for two Palestinians suspected in a mass stabbing near Tel Aviv that left three Israelis dead. The stabbing on Thursday, Israel’s Independence Day, was the latest in a series of deadly assaults in recent weeks. It came as Israeli-Palestinian tensions were already heightened by violence at a major holy site in Jerusalem sacred to Jews and Muslims. Police say they are searching for two suspects, 19 and 20 years old, from the West Bank town of Jenin, which has re-emerged as a militant bastion in the latest wave of violence — the worst Israel has seen in years.
