Three hours later, a 14-year-old Palestinian boy from the village of Bani Naim, close to Hebron, tried to open the door of an army vehicle and stab one of the soldiers inside. The troops overpowered and handcuffed him without opening fire.

 

Several minutes later, another attacker tried to stab soldiers near the Tapuach Junction. He was shot and seriously wounded, and later succumbed to his wounds.

 

On Saturday night, a stabbing attack was thwarted near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem - the ninth attack there over the past three weeks.
