The hospital where the Palestinian was taken said he later died of his wounds.

Two Palestinian teens stabbed a border guard near a light rail station in Pisgat Zev, wounding him moderately. Police said the other was taken into custody.
An amateur video that surfaced on a Palestinian website showed plainclothes Israeli security forces wrestling a young boy, presumably one of the attackers, to the ground and taking off his clothes and shoes.
In the east Jerusalem Israeli settlement of Pisgat Zeev, two Palestinian boys aged 12 and 14 attacked a security guard with knives, police said. Meanwhile, 76 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, including 49 said by Israel to have been involved in attacks or attempted attacks.
According to the Palestinian health ministry, more than 80 Palestinians have died, a few in clashes with security forces during protests, while others gunned down by security forces and vigilante citizens after allegedly trying to carry out attacks against Israelis.
Israel is still lacking evidence to charge those responsible for a deadly arson attack on a Palestinian family this summer, Israeli media reported the country’s defense minister as saying Monday, in a case that Palestinians say helped fuel the past weeks of bloodshed.
The Palestinians seek an independent state in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, which were captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.
Palestinian militants have called for a knife “intifada”, or uprising, against Israel and numerous assailants have been teenagers.
Israeli police said forces foiled another attack near Abu Dis, a West Bank suburb of Jerusalem.
Israel promptly accused Abbas – as it has done repeatedly in the past months – of fomenting violence with what it said were incendiary comments.
A Palestinian bystander was wounded in the shooting, Samri added.
The edited seven-minute clip showed the Arabic-speaking men questioning a young suspect and forcing him to watch CCTV footage of the October 12 attack.
A hospital spokeswoman said one boy was seriously wounded.

Initial reports suggested he may have been a 50-year-old Palestinian man who was hit by Israeli crossfire, although a spokesperson for Shaare Zedek Medical Center said they received an Israeli civilian who was lightly injured near Damascus gate.
