Two Palestinians stabbed on Thursday a Zionist soldier near a group of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank on Thursday before being shot dead, Zionist media reported.

The incident occurred at the Ariel junction in the West Bank.

The wounded settler was being taken to hospital, while the two Palestinians were shot by occupation security forces at the scene.

However, director of Qalqilya Emergency center, Monther Nazzal, said that occupation authorities banned Palestinian Red Crescent crews from approaching the scene, and forced them to retreat.

Violence in Palestine erupted since a group of Zionist settlers stormed AL-Aqsa compound in occupied al-Quds under the protection of Zionist security forces, killing so far 180 Palestinians.

Few Palestinians of those who were killed have been young people who carried out or tried to carry out stabbing and running over operations, while many other Palestinian martyrs have been shot dead by Zionist security forces during clashes.

The international community has repeatedly called for moves to reduce tensions but Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to step up punitive measures.
