JERUSALEM – An Israeli police spokesman said a Palestinian stabbed two Israelis in Jerusalem on Friday, wounding one of them critically, before being shot dead by the police.
The attack occurred on the last Friday of Ramadan holiday, when thousands of Muslim worshippers were expected to come to a holy site in Jerusalem’s old city where police had deployed extra units in the area.
Police said one Israeli was critically injured in the stabbing attack and a second sustained moderate wounds. (Reuters)
