Israel's security Cabinet has approved new measures against Israelis who attack Palestinians, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying his government will have zero tolerance for Jewish extremists.
The tough talk follows two attacks last week that shocked Israelis.
On Friday, suspected Jewish extremists set fire to a Palestinian home in the West Bank and burned a toddler to death. On Thursday, an ultraorthodox Jew allegedly stabbed revelers at a gay pride parade in Jerusalem, and a 16-year-old girl injured in that attack died of her wounds on Sunday.
