The Palestinian was identified on social media as Aabed Hamad, but his identity has not yet been confirmed.

Around an hour prior to the attack, Hamad posted a photo of his mother and father on his personal Facebook page with a caption reading: "The two most beautiful [people] in the world, my soul remains with them.

"Dad, Mom, may God protect you, keep you safe, and keep you precious on this Friday...Mom don't cry over me, I need your prayers. Dad, may you be satisfied with me, you have brought up a man."

Another Palestinian was shot dead earlier Friday after he stabbed and injured two officers at Damascus Gate in occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City.

The Palestinian was identified as 20-year-old Muhammad Abu Khalaf from the Kafr Aqab area of East Jerusalem.
