Palestinian protesters use a sling to hurl stones at Israeli troops during clashes near the Jewish settlement of Bet El, near the West Bank city of Ramallah.

Two “terrorists” stabbed two Israelis in the east Jerusalem settlement of Pisgat Zeev Monday, the day’s third such attack in the city, police said, adding that one attacker was killed and the other shot.

“The victims were Jewish minors, one gravely wounded, the other seriously,” a statement said. It was the 18th stabbing attack targeting Israelis or Jews since Oct. 3.

Earlier, a female attacker stabbed an Israeli policeman near the force’s headquarters in Jerusalem on Monday and was shot by the victim, police said.

Police said the officer, a border policeman, spotted a woman who appeared to be behaving suspiciously and tried to stop her. When he pursued her, she turned and stabbed him, and he shot her.

The attacker was taken to hospital, while initial indications were that the officer was not seriously wounded.

The stabbings and rioting in east Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have led to warnings of the risk of a full-scale Palestinian uprising, or third intifada.
