Jerusalem: Palestinian teens stab Israeli train guard
Two Palestinians aged 12 and 13 have stabbed and wounded an Israeli security guard in East Jerusalem, police say.
The 12-year-old was shot and injured, and the other caught unharmed. A Palestinian man was later killed in an attempted attack elsewhere in the city.
The two teenagers are among the youngest alleged assailants in more than a month of near-daily stabbings of Israelis by Palestinians.
Ten Israelis and dozens of Palestinians have been killed in the recent unrest.
Many of the Palestinian fatalities were attackers, shot by their victims or security forces.
Israeli police said the 12- and 13-year-old boys stabbed and moderately wounded the guard on a light rail train in the settlement of Pisgat Zeev.
The guard shot the younger boy, and the 13-year-old was held by passengers until police arrived and arrested the suspects.
In the second incident, a 37-year-old Palestinian was shot after trying to stab two guards outside the Damascus Gate entrance to Jerusalem's walled Old City, according to police. The man later died of his wounds at a hospital in the city.
