Israeli forces in central part of the West Bank have killed Palestinian man over alleged stabbing attack amid tensions over Donald Trump decision to relocate US embassy in Jerusalem al-Quds announcing the holy city as Israeli capital.
Israel's internal spy agency, Shin Bet, announced in a statement that 28-year-old Abd al-Rahman Bani Fadel, a resident of the northern West Bank town of Aqraba – located eighteen kilometers southeast of Nablus, stabbed and seriously injured an Israeli man along Hagai Street in the Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds on Sunday evening.
Israel's emergency medical service official, Magen David Adom, later said the wounded man, who is said to be approximately 30 years old, was brought to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem al-Quds in “very serious” condition.
He had sustained multiple stab wounds to the upper part of body.
Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said the Palestinian man was quickly shot dead at the scene by an Israeli officer.
