A knife attacker has seriously wounded an Israeli border policeman before fellow officers killed the assailant, police said.
The 38-year-old Palestinian walked past two officers near the Damascus Gate into the Old City on Sunday and then yelled “Allahu Akbar” before stabbing one of them in the neck, wounding him.
Other officers opened fire at the attacker and shot him dead. Another knife was later found on his body.
Damascus Gate is the main entry point for Palestinians to the walled Old City of Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem.
