Israeli police says a soldier shot and killed an Arab attacker after he stabbed four people with a screwdriver in Tel Aviv.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri says a female soldier was among the wounded, all of them lightly injured.

She said the soldier chased the assailant after Thursday's attack, which occurred along a busy Tel Aviv road. Police closed off the intersection where the attack took place.

The attack is the latest in a bout of violence that began three weeks ago and has spilled over into Israel's heartland.

The U.N. human rights chief is calling for calm in the West Bank after a week of spiraling tension, warning that "more bloodshed will only lead to more hatred on both sides."

Zeid Raad al-Hussein said in a statement issued in Geneva on Thursday that he is "deeply concerned at the increasing number of reported attacks" by both Israeli settlers and Palestinians.

He voiced concern at reports that at least 134 Palestinians have been injured by live ammunition and many more hurt by rubber bullets or tear gas. Zeid says "the high number of casualties, in particular those resulting from the use of live ammunition by Israeli security forces, raise concerns of excessive use of force."

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says the Palestinians will not be "dragged" into more violence with Israel, even as a Palestinian attacker stabbed a Jewish seminary student in Jerusalem.

Abbas spoke to business leaders on Thursday in the West Bank city of Ramallah. He says he is committed to "peaceful popular resistance" though he backs protesters who recently barricaded themselves inside Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque and clashed with Israeli police.

Abbas insisted the Palestinians are not interested in a further escalation.

Still, he says their "hands are with those who are protecting Al-Aqsa mosque."

The sensitive site in Jerusalem has been at the heart of the recent Israeli-Palestinian unrest. Palestinians have repeatedly barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa mosque there, and hurled stones, firebombs and fireworks at the police.

Israeli police say an attacker has stabbed an Israeli in Jerusalem. They identified the attacker as an Arab man without providing details.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says Thursday's attack took place in the French Hill neighborhood of Jerusalem and that troops have apprehended the attacker. Medical services say the victim was lightly wounded.

The stabbing was the latest in a series of attacks against Israelis in recent years.

The unrest began about three weeks ago at a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem. It later spread to Arab neighborhoods of east Jerusalem and to the West Bank.

In all, four Israelis have been killed in stabbings by Palestinian attackers and a roadside shooting in recent days. Five Palestinians, including three of the attackers, have been killed.
