(MENAFN- Gulf Times) A Palestinian teenager shot last week after attacking Israeli officers at a police station in annexed east Jerusalem died of his wounds yesterday, a hospital said.
'The fighter from the incident in the Armon Hanatziv police station has died, the Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem said in a statement. Official Palestinian news agency WAFA named the fighter as Abdul Rahman Abu Jamal, 17, from Jabel Mukaber, a Palestinian neighbourhood adjacent to the settler district of Armon Hanatziv.
Abu Jamal was seriously wounded as he was overpowered by officers during the rare attack inside a security force base late on November 14 after scaling a fence around it. Seven police officers were lightly wounded in the attack, one of them by a gunshot from a fellow officer. A wave of stabbing attacks against Israelis by lone-wolf Palestinian fighters erupted in 2015 but they have since become sporadic.
Also yesterday, a suspected Palestinian stabbed an Israeli Jew in the face outside a shop near the West Bank city of Bethlehem, with a police spokesman calling it 'a terror attack. The victim, an ultra-Orthodox man, was lightly wounded, with the perpetrator remaining at large.
