AL-QUDS — A Palestinian who allegedly stabbed an Israeli paramilitary policeman at the entrance to the walled old city of Al-Quds on Sunday was shot by the policeman, police said. Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance service said both men were seriously wounded. Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the border policeman had been stabbed in the neck. Police described the incident, which took place just outside Damascus Gate, as a “suspected terror attack,” saying the attacker was an 18-year-old Palestinian from the West Bank. “An 18-year-old resident of the West Bank stabbed a border police officer in the neck with a knife, and the border police officer was taken in critical condition to Shaarei Tzedek hospital in Ein Kerem,” police spokeswoman Luba Samri said in a statement. “The border police officer managed to fire at the terrorist, critically wounding him,” she said. — Agencies
