BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A Palestinian suspect was shot and killed after allegedly stabbing an Israeli soldier and stealing his gun in Kiryat Gat in southern Israel, an Israeli police spokesperson told Ma’an.
Micky Rosenfeld told Ma’an that an Israeli soldier was injured after he was “stabbed by a suspect.”
The suspect — identified as Amjad Hatem al-Jundi , 24 — grabbed the soldier’s gun and fled the area into a nearby building, Rosenfeld said. Officials in the area at the time closed in on the building and chased the suspect down before he was “identified, shot, and killed on the scene,” he added.
He added the incident was currently under investigation as a “terror attack.”
Hours earlier, an Israeli civilian shot and injured a Palestinian woman in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem after she allegedly tried to stab him.
Rosenfeld said that the armed Israeli man, 35, shot the woman, 18, from close range after she tried to attack him with a knife, referring to the woman as a “terrorist.”
Medical sources told Ma’an the teen sustained serious injuries.
