Israeli killed for shouting ‘I’m Isis’

A Jewish Israeli man was shot and killed in a scuffle with Israeli soldiers who suspected he was a Palestinian attacker, police said, in a reflection of the nervous mood that has gripped Israelis amid a spate of near-daily stabbings.

The shooting came as prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Germany for talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry on how to restore calm. Kerry is set to meet with the Palestinians this weekend.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the shooting of the Israeli man in Jerusalem occurred after soldiers patrolling the area asked him to show his ID as he got off a bus.
