Two Israeli officers injured in alleged stabbing attack in al-Quds
Two Israeli officers have been wounded in an alleged stabbing incident in the holy occupied city of al-Quds in which a young Palestinian man was seriously shot and injured.
The incident happened at Bab al-Amoud, also known as Damascus Gate, which is one of the entrances to al-Quds’ Old City.
One Israeli police officer was taken to hospital with “stab wounds to his upper body,” the Times of Israel reported. Another officer was treated at the scene,the report added.
The paper identified the attacker as a 23-year-old youth from the nearby JabelMukaber neighborhood, saying he was detained by Israeli forces after initially fleeing the scene.
Israeli forces closed down Bab al-Amoud after the incident.
DawoodShahab, an Islamic Jihad leader based in Gaza, said such attacks reflect the intensity of the Palestinian nation’s increasing outrage at the Israeli regime’s hostile policies towards Palestinian prisoners—thousands of whom are in Israeli detention.
“The occupying regime will pay the price of its bullying and impudence, and will realize that the Palestinian nation is in possession of such power and will that will further strengthen its resolve and steadfastness in the face of the policies of terrorism and animosity that are being implemented against it,” he added.
A day earlier, Israeli forces shot and seriously injured a 20-year-old Palestinian man after he allegedly stabbed a settler in al-Quds’ Old City.
Over the past weeks, at least nine Palestinians have been killed during confrontations that have ensued Israeli raids across various parts of the occupied West Bank.
