Israeli police shot and killed two suspected Palestinian assailants
after a policewoman was stabbed and killed outside Jerusalem's Old City
on Friday.
The attacks took place as Muslims were marking the end of the third
Friday of the fasting month of Ramadan, during which tens of thousands
of Palestinians from east Jerusalem and the West Bank attended prayers
at the nearby Al-Aqsa mosque compound, Islam's third-holiest site.
According to police, two people opened fire at a group of police
officers who returned fire, and a third stabbed the border policewoman a
short distance away before being shot. It was earlier reported that all
three suspected assailants were killed, but a police spokesperson
backtracked and said that one was taken to hospital for gunshot wounds.
Palestinian security forces identified the Palestinians as Bara' Saleh
and Adel Ankoush, both 18 and from Deir Abu Mashal near Ramallah, and
31-year-old Amer Badawi from Hebron.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said on Twitter that border policewoman Hadas Malka, 23, was killed in the attack.
Medics said two other people were moderately wounded in the attack, and a further two lightly wounded.
A wave of unrest that broke out in October 2015 has claimed the lives of
272 Palestinians, 41 Israelis, two Americans, two Jordanians, an
Eritrean, a Sudanese and a Briton, according to an AFP tally.
Israeli authorities say most of the Palestinians killed were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks.
