The Israeli police said that on the same day, a Palestinian man stabbed an Israeli border policeman with a knife near the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem (Muslims call it "a noble forbidden place"), and the police subsequently shot him to death. The Temple Mount has been closed after the incident.
The Israeli emergency organization "Red David Adom" stated that the stabbed Israeli policeman has been sent to medical treatment. The Israeli police also stated that a woman was stabbed at the scene of the incident.
The Temple Mount, located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is a holy place for both Judaism and Islam, and has long been the focus of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
On the 13th of this month, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, UAE Crown Prince Mohammed of Abu Dhabi and U.S. President Trump reached an agreement to agree to the full normalization of relations between Israel and the UAE. Subsequently, tensions in Palestine and Israel escalated. The Palestinian Presidential Palace issued a statement on the same day, strongly condemning the agreement reached between the UAE and Israel to complete the normalization of relations as a violation of the Palestinian people and a betrayal of the Palestinian cause.
