A Palestinian stabbed and lightly wounded an Israeli in Al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Monday before being arrested by occupation forces, police and medics said.

The attack took place on the so-called Haneviim Street, a short distance from the Old City.

Occupation police said the perpetrator, a Palestinian man in his 20s from the occupied West Bank, was seen by officers "stabbing an Israeli and fleeing," discarding the knife nearby.

The officers ran and caught the Palestinian, "subdued and arrested him," an occupation police statement said.

Medics said the Israeli, a man in his late 20s, was being treated for light stab wounds to his shoulder.

The occupied territories have been, since October 1, rocked by a wave of operations against Zionists in retaliation of the Israeli repressive measures against the Palestinians across the West Bank and especially in al-Quds.

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

However the occupation forces have been brutally attacking the Palestinians under the pretext of staging stabbing attacks.

The Palestinian operations since the start of October have killed 28 Israelis, while the Israeli occupation forces killed at least 204 Palestinians.
