A Palestinian shot by police during a stabbing attack against Israeli officers in the West Bank city of Hebron died of his wounds Monday, a hospital statement said.
His accomplice was shot dead on the spot earlier Monday.
The statement said the Palestinian was “brought to Shaare Zedek hospital in critical condition” and “died of his injuries.”
He was one of two Palestinians who allegedly attempted to stab Israeli border police near a flashpoint holy site in the city in the occupied West Bank, police said.
The Palestinian Health Ministry named the two men as Mohanned Al-Rajabi, 21, and Ameer Al-Rajabi, 17, but did not say if they were close relatives.
Palestinian frustration with the Israeli occupation and settlement-building in the West Bank, the complete lack of progress in peace efforts and their own fractured leadership have helped feed the unrest.
Since October, 229 Palestinians, 34 Israelis, two Americans, one Jordanian, one Eritrean and a Sudanese have been killed in ongoing violence, according to an AFP count.
