Police opened fire on one young Palestinian yesterday at the entrance of the Damascus gate in Jerusalem.
The Ma’an News Agency said he was 20-years-old. He is yet to be officially identified.
Police claimed that the young man had attempted to stab a policeman after they approached him for a security search. No Israeli casualties were reported.
Just four hours later yesterday evening, an Israeli policeman shot and killed another Palestinian in Jerusalem who they alleged to be an attacker.
