JERUSALEM (AA) - Israeli police on Sunday shot dead a Palestinian teenager in occupied East Jerusalem.
Israeli police released a statement saying the 19-year-old injured two police officers in an alleged knife attack in Jerusalem’s Old City.
On Twitter, Public Security Minister Omer Bar-Lev also confirmed that the Palestinian teenager was killed by Israeli police, who he said acted "quickly and resolutely" after the alleged attack.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. In 1980 it annexed the entire city, in a move never recognized by the international community.
