Palestinian Seriously Wounds Israeli in New Stabbing - Clashes Ongoing, Zionist Forces Kill Palestinian Protester

A 19-year-old Palestinian stabbed and seriously wounded an Israeli man in al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Thursday before being arrested, police said, the latest in a spate of knife attacks on Zionists.

Stabbing in Jerusalem

Police said the 25-year-old Israeli victim was in a serious condition after being stabbed in the neck near one of Jerusalem's main thoroughfares.

The incident occurred near a tramway station close to the national police headquarters, police said.

The suspect, said to be from Shuafat refugee camp in annexed east Jerusalem, later attacked a tramway guard and tried to take his gun before fleeing. Police initially gave his age as 15 before later correcting it to 19.

"He was arrested by police special forces who were in the area," occupation police spokeswoman Luba Samri said.

There has been a series of knife attacks by Palestinians on Israelis in recent days in response to restrictions by the Zionist authorities on access to al-Aqsa Mosque.

Extremist Zionist Settlers, backed by occupation forces repeatedly storm al-Aqsa in the recent weeks, prompting the Palestinians to defend the holy compound.

At least four knife attacks have occurred in Jerusalem and six overall since Saturday, when a Palestinian killed two Israelis in the Old City, helping prompt an Israeli security crackdown.

Zionist occupation forces shot dead a Palestinian during clashes in occupied east Al-Quds Thursday amid a hike in the Zionist violence against Palestinian protesters near the city of Ramallah.

The Palestinian killed was shot in the chest at the Shuafat refugee camp in occupied east Jerusalem, according to the Red Crescent and hospital sources.

Israeli troops have also attacked Palestinian protesters in Beit El settlement near the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank amid rising tensions over al-Aqsa Mosque.

The clashes erupted when Israeli troops fired tear gas to disperse the demonstrators, who were angry over provocations by Israeli forces and settlers in Muslims’ third holiest site. The forces are also using live ammunition against the Palestinians

At least two Palestinians are reported to have been injured in the attacks by Israeli forces. At least one European photojournalist and his two Arab colleagues are also said to be among injured in the Israeli assault.

Meanwhile, Israeli police sources say a soldier shot and killed a Palestinian man along a busy Tel Aviv road on Thursday.

Israeli forces accused the man of having stabbed four people, including a trooper, with a screwdriver in Tel Aviv.

Tensions have been on the rise in the occupied West Bank and al-Quds in recent days, following a wave of violence that saw Israeli settlers and soldiers attacking Palestinian worshipers in al-Aqsa compound.
