A Palestinian was martyred on Wednesday after stabbing two Israelis and injuring them, one of them seriously, in al-Khalil before two Israeli settlers were wounded when their car was shot near Tulkarem.

Two Israeli settlers were wounded when their car was shot near Tulkarem in the West Bank on Wednesday.

Earlier, a Palestinian was martyred on Wednesday after stabbing two Israelis and injuring them, one of them seriously, in al-Khalil.

An initial statement from the military said the stabbing occurred at an Israeli settlement near al-Khalil, but occupation authorities later clarified that it was inside the city.

Al-Khalil has been a flashpoint in more than two months of attacks against Zionists in retaliation of the Israeli repressive measures against the Palestinians across the West Bank.

Zionist settlers backed by occupation forces have been repeatedly storming the holy al-Aqsa Mosque, sparking Palestinian anger.

Since October 1, almost daily attacks and clashes between Palestinians and occupation soldiers have killed 113 on the Palestinian side, 17 Israelis.
