‘An initial inquiry suggests an additional soldier was injured as a result of the fire directed towards the attackers, ‘ the military said in a statement.
“But another soldier, standing on the other side of the vehicle, fired four times through the window from a very close range”, the witness said.
The Israeli military said two males – Mohammad Sabana, 17, and Nour al-Din Sabana, 23 – were shot after stabbing and wounding a soldier at a checkpoint in Huwwara, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a 30-year-old attacker stabbed a soldier near the central bus station in Jerusalem and lightly wounded him.
Such incidents have become near-daily since October 1, with 12 Palestinians and 2 Israelis killed in the last week alone.
US-backed peace talks between the Palestinians and Israel collapsed in April 2014 after nine months of fruitless meetings amid bitter recriminations and mutual blame. The soldiers opened fire and critically wounded him, who died shortly after, according to Palestinian Health Ministry and Israeli radio.
A stabbing takes place on Wednesday outside the Jaffa Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem. ‘The terrorist pulled out a knife and tried to stab the policeman and was quickly killed by police gunfire. “The terrorist whipped out a knife and tried to stab a police officer”.
The surge in violence has been fueled by Palestinians’ frustration over Israel’s 48-year occupation of land they seek for an independent state and the expansion of settlements in those territories which were captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.
