Two ‘Israeli’ settlers stabbed in Jerusalem hotel: 'Israeli' Police

Two ‘Israeli’ settlers were stabbed Friday inside a hotel in Jerusalem, ‘Israeli’ police announced. 

Hebrew media outlets, including Channel 12, reported that the suspect is a Palestinian from territories occupied in 1948, who got arrested at the scene. 

While Channel 14 had reported one injury earlier, police later confirmed the number had risen to two.

Authorities said that investigations are still in process to determine the motive.

This marks the second attack after a shooting at a bus stop in east Jerusalem killed seven people and left several others wounded last week, ‘Israeli’ authorities reported.

Police confirmed that the two gunmen were killed at the scene. “A security officer and a civilian at the scene responded immediately, returned fire, and neutralized the attackers,” a police statement said. 

Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for the bus shooting.

In a statement, the group said the operation targeted “Israeli soldiers and settlers” and hailed the two attackers as martyrs.
