A Palestinian youth was killed after the Israeli police shot him in occupied Jerusalem this evening, Monday, for allegedly trying to carry out a stabbing attack at Bab Hatta in occupied Jerusalem.

Al-Jazeera correspondent in Jerusalem confirmed that the Palestinian youth was martyred, while Israeli media reported that Israeli police shot a young man who carried out a stabbing attack, wounding a policeman with moderate injuries.
