Two stabbed in Israeli settlement Israeli dies in settlement attack
(about 2 hours later)
A Palestinian man has stabbed an Israeli policeman and a civilian in an attack in a Jewish settlement to the south of Jerusalem, police say. A Palestinian man has stabbed and killed an elderly Israeli civilian in a Jewish settlement to the south of Jerusalem, Israeli police have said.
The attacker was detained after being shot and injured by police in the settlement of Gilo. The attack took place after two police officers stopped the Palestinian in Gilo to ask for his identity papers.
The wounded civilian is said to be in a critical condition. The man stabbed and injured one of the officers, who managed to shoot back.
Gilo is built on West Bank land captured by Israel in 1967, and has been a target for attacks by Palestinian militants in the past. The wounded attacker then grabbed an 86-year-old passer-by and stabbed him before being overpowered. The civilian later died of his injuries in hospital.
Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said the Palestinian stabbed one of two officers who had stopped him in street. The Magen David ambulance service said the Palestinian assailant and the police officer had both sustained "moderate" injuries.
"The [wounded] policeman fired at the terrorist, but he continued to attack and stabbed a 60-year-old passerby, before he was apprehended," Reuters news agency quoted him as saying. One witness, Yoav Mizrahi, said he and a local municipal official had helped capture the attacker after the stabbing.
The policeman's wounds were said to be moderate. "I arrived with my car and saw an Arab man on the street fighting with the policeman. I stopped the car, when suddenly the guy pulled out a knife and began stabbing the policeman, who tried to defend himself," he told the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
"The officer fell down, got up and fired at the fleeing terrorist before collapsing on the ground. While escaping, the Arab stabbed an elderly man walking across from him and that man collapsed."
"I ran after him and yelled at him to stop in Arabic. About 150m later, I caught him from behind, dropped him to the ground and held on to him together with an inspector until the security forces arrived."
There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for what the Israeli authorities called a "terror incident".
