A Palestinian seriously wounded during clashes with Israeli border police in occupied East Jerusalem died of his wounds on Saturday, Israeli police and Palestinian medical sources said.

Police said he was shot after allegedly opening fire at border police late on Friday night, and the Red Crescent said he was killed by a live bullet at the clashes in Shuafat refugee camp.

He was identified by his family as 22-year-old Ahmed Qali.

His death is the latest in ongoing violence between Israelis and Palestinians after seven Palestinians were killed in Gaza and the occupied West Bank on Friday.

Ongoing violence

A new stabbing in occupied Jerusalem wounded two Israelis on Saturday in the latest in a wave of such attacks, police and medics said.

Police said the attacker had been “neutralised” without providing further details on whether the suspect had been captured of killed.
