Israeli man (19), witnesses report that Palestinian attacker ran toward them, stabbed young man and fled; victim taken to Jerusalem's Sha'are Zedek Medical Center.
A 19-year-old man was lightly hurt in a suspected stabbing attack near the Mishor Adumim Junction, next to Ma'ale Adumim on Monday. Police forces launched a search for the suspect, apparently a Palestinian.
The victim was evacuated to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
The wounded man and other witnesses claimed that the Palestinian ran towards them and stabbed the young man in his back. Police believe the motive for the attack was a nationalistic background. The victim was transferred to a Magen David Adom ambulance while he was en route to Jerusalem. The ambulance picked up the 19-year-old man at the Al-Zayim checkpoint in Ma'ale Adumim and evacuated him to the hospital.
Magen David Adom paramedic Oded Shabat who arrived at the checkpoint said that "a man of about 20 years of age with a stab wound to his torso was sitting inside a private vehicle. They told us that he was stabbed while standing at a hitchhiking spot in Mishor Adumim. We gave him medical treatment and evacuated him to the trauma room at the Sha'are Tzedek Medical Center."
Israeli settler slightly injured in alleged J’lem stabbing
An Israeli settler sustained minor injuries in an alleged stabbing attack by a Palestinian youngster in Occupied Jerusalem city, Israeli police claimed on early Monday morning.
The Israeli occupation police said in a press statement, according to preliminary data “an Israeli settler was stabbed by a suspect, apparently a Palestinian, at the Mishor Adumim crossroads, in eastern Occupied Jerusalem.”
The settler was reportedly transferred to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital to be treated for the minor injuries sustained in the alleged incident.
Local sources said a large investigation troop, escorted by police and armed officers, suddenly showed up and scoured the area under the pretext of chasing down the unidentified stabber.
Stabbing attacks by Palestinian youths have been on the rise in Occupied Jerusalem city, which observers said have been primarily acted in response to the preplanned vandalism and frequent hit-and-runs perpetrated by Israeli fanatic settlers against Palestinian children and civilian youths.

Hundreds of Israeli settlers will march near Nablus on Tuesday to protest attacks by Palestinians, security officials said.
Palestinian officials told Ma'an that settlers from Yitzhar and other nearby settlements will march at 2 p.m. to an intersection where a settler car was set on fire last week by a Molotov cocktail throw by youths.
The main road in Huwwara and the Zatara checkpoint will likely be closed for over two hours while the protest takes place, security officials added.
Overnight Monday, Israeli forces imposed a curfew on the Palestinian village of Huwwara south of Nablus in the northern West Bank after a Molotovcocktail was hurled at a bus of Israeli settlers on a main road near the village.
In 2014, there were 324 incidents of settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
The Nablus area experiences one of the highest rates of settler violence due to the location of settlements near Palestinian population centers. The Nablus district, which includes the city, three refugee camps and fifteen villages, is home to over 200,000 Palestinians whose movement has been several restricted for the past six years, Israeli human rights group B'Tselem describing military restrictions on locals as a "siege."

Guards shot Palestinian in the legs after one said he had been attacked from behind; no weapon found at scene of incident.
Security guards at a light rail station in Jerusalem on late Monday morning shot a Palestinian man suspected of trying to attack one of them.
The Palestinian was shot in the legs during the incident at the station at Givat Hamivtar, near the French Hill neighborhood. There were no other injuries.
During a preliminary investigation of the incident, one of the security guards said he had been attacked from behind by the Palestinian, but had not known whether he had been punched or hit with a weapon.
His fellow guards said that the man had tried to pull something out of his pocket, which they suspected was a knife, at which point they shot at his legs. No knife has been found at the scene. Searches of the area continued after the incident and an investigation has been launched.
The Palestinian was taken to Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem, in moderate condition.
Daniel, a student at the nearby yeshiva, told Ynet that he did not see a knife during the incident.
"The guard seemed very upset and told police investigators that 'the Palestinian was trying to get something out of his pocket and attack. I fired in the air. I asked him to stop and then I fired at his legs.'"
Fellow yeshiva student Simi Saada said: "We heard shots and arrived at the scene within 30 seconds. There was a Palestinian who had been shot on the street and police officers and rescue personnel around him treating him. The security guard seemed in shock and was sitting to the side."
The light rail returned to normal schedule after the incident, but did not stop at the Givat Hamivtar station.
Local residents have complained about the lack of police in the area. Yosef Cohen, who lives in Givat Hamivtar, an area in which there have been a string of attacks in the past two years. "We call this the blood route. People are afraid to walk about; we lock our doors out of fear. The police have reduced their numbers recently and we don’t feel safe. There are Palestinians here who threaten us."
There has been a wave of terror attacks in Jerusalem In recent weeks, including a deadly vehicular attack that claimed the life of Shalom Cherki and left his companion Shira Klein in serious condition.
Two weeks later, a 16-year-old Palestinian was shot dead after he tried to stab Border Police officers at the checkpoint next to Ma'ale Adumim. A day after, four police officers were run over in an attack close to the Mount of Olives.

The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, hailed the stabbing and running over operations against Israelis in al-Khalil and Occupied Jerusalem.
Hamas spokesman abroad Husam Badran said, in a press statement on Sunday, that his Movement perceives the operations as heroic resistance actions that deserve respect and appreciation.
Resistance fighters in the West Bank act under highly sophisticated conditions as they are chased on daily basis by Israeli forces as well as Palestinian Authority forces, he elaborated.
Referring to the escalation of resistance operations against the Israeli occupation and the winning of the Islamic bloc in university student elections, Badran said the people of the West Bank and Jerusalem have proven their adherence to the resistance choice.
He called on the Palestinian Authority to comprehensively revise its policies and to take the side of its people’s choice of resisting the Israeli occupation.
On Saturday, two resistance operations were carried out by two Palestinians in the West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem.
The first operation was implemented by martyr Mahmoud Abu Jhaisheh who stabbed an Israeli soldier near al-Haram al-Ibrahimi in al-Khalil. The second was carried out in Occupied Jerusalem by a Palestinian young man who ran over a group of Israeli policemen.

A Palestinian suspected of ramming his car into a group of Israeli
policeman in occupied East Jerusalem on Saturday night has been arrested
by Israeli police, a police spokesman said Sunday.
The attack left four Israeli police officers injured, with three sustaining light injuries and one moderately hurt.Israeli news source Ynet named the suspect as 31-year-old Fadi Saleh from Shufat refugee camp, although Israeli police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld was unable to confirm the suspect's identity.
He told Ma'an that search operations had continued through Saturday night and that a Palestinian man was arrested Sunday morning.Rosenfeld said he was being questioned and was "the main suspect in the terrorist attack."
The alleged hit-and-run came after a day of clashes across occupied East Jerusalem that left dozens of Palestinians injured.Clashes were concentrated in the neighborhoods of al-Tur and al-Issawiya and erupted after Israeli police shot dead a 17-year-old Palestinian from al-Tur who they allege ran towards them "wielding" a large knife.
Al-Tur called for a state of mourning on Saturday following Muhammad Abu Ghannam's death, and local schools and institutions closed for the day.A Palestinian Red Crescent official Dr. Amin Abu Ghazaleh said 26 Palestinians were injured by rubber-coated steel bullets during clashes in al-Tur and that dozens more suffered excessive tear gas inhalation.
He also said that Israeli forces had targeted Red Crescent ambulance crews, leaving two Palestinian medics injured.Tensions have been running high in East Jerusalem ever since last summer when Jewish extremists kidnapped and murdered a 16-year-old Palestinian boy, Muhammad Abu Khdeir.
Saturday's alleged hit-and-run is the latest in a string of attacks by Palestinians on Israeli forces and civilians in the months since then.Less than a day after Abu Ghannam was shot dead in East Jerusalem, another Palestinian was killed on Saturday at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron when he stabbed an Israeli soldier. In the six months to the end of February, the UN reported that 10 Israelis were killed in Palestinian attacks.
During the same period, 17 Palestinians across the West Bank and East Jerusalem were killed by Israeli forces and settlers, and hundreds more injured. The number is higher in Gaza, where the death toll from last summer's devastating Israeli offensive continued to rise months after the conflict ended as Palestinians succumbed to their wounds.
Four police officers wounded in Jerusalem terror attack
Car slams into officers in At-Tur neighborhood of East Jerusalem, where 20 Palestinians were wounded during clashes with police earlier on Saturday; ambulances attacked on way to evacuate victims.
Four police officers were hit by a car in Jerusalem near the Mount of Olives in a suspected terror attack on Saturday night. A suspect in the attack, 31-year-old Fadi Saleh from the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, was arrested Sunday morning.
Magen David Adom paramedics that arrived at the scene treated the four victims; three sustained light injuries and one was moderately hurt. Locals began clashing with police and rocks were thrown at the ambulances called to evacuate the wounded.
The attack came after a day of riots in the At-Tur neighborhood of East Jerusalem.
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat drove to the scene of the attack, where his car came under attack by rock-throwers as well. One rock lightly damaged the vehicle; no one was hurt.
After the attack, riots erupted in several East Jerusalem neighborhoods including At-Tur, Silwan, and the Muslim Quarter.
Jerusalem Police said that a vehicle was driving from the direction of the cemetery on the Mount of Olives when it veered onto the sidewalk and hit the officers. "Officers fired towards the vehicle. In searches which occurred after the incident the vehicle was discovered. Searches continue for the terrorist."
Magen David Adom spokesperson Zaki Heller said paramedics treated four wounded, including a police officer in her twenties with moderate wounds to her lower limbs.
Earlier in the evening, a Palestinian terrorist attacked a Border Police officer, stabbing the Israeli in his head and chest with a knife near the Cave of the Patriarchs. The attacker rushed a combat unit, injuring one before the other soldiers fired at him.
Magen David Adom emergency personnel treated the soldier and he was evacuated to Sha'are Tzedek Medical Center in moderate condition; the terrorist succumbed to his wounds later in the evening.
Also on Saturday evening, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a bus driving on Route 443 towards Jerusalem, which caught fire. Local police said there were no injuries in the incident.
On Saturday afternoon, some 20 rioters were wounded in East Jerusalem clashes which erupted after the thwarted terror attack in Ma'ale Adumim the night before, in which the attacker was killed, according to the Red Crescent Society.
A police officer was wounded by a Palestinian rock-thrower during the clashes. He was evacuated in light condition to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center.
3 Israeli cops injured in alleged hit-and-run in Occupied Jerusalem
Three Israeli police officers were injured Saturday evening when struck by a car in Jerusalem’s al-Tur neighborhood.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samari said three police officers sustained injuries after a car ran over a group of Israeli cops in al-Tur.
A PIC correspondent quoted Jerusalemite sources as reporting that the Israeli soldiers captured the perpetrator of the alleged hit-and-run. The reasons for the attack have not, however, been immediately identified.
In a separate incident, a Kavim bus caught fire off highway 443 in what police attributed to a possible Molotov cocktail hitting the vehicle. The incident has caused serious gridlock on the highway.
Violent clashes flared up, meanwhile, between Palestinian protestors and the Israeli soldiers across Jerusalem city after Israeli authorities refused to return the body of the 16-year-old Palestinian youth Ali Ghannam, shot dead by Israeli soldiers earlier in the day.
Recent days have seen an uptick in Israeli police violence with officers targeting Palestinian unarmed protestors with randomly-shot waves of tear gas and rubber bullets.
Palestinians, meanwhile, decry frequent attacks by extremist Jewish settlers and police on their communities and holy sites in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Israeli sources have reported that the police found an Israeli man in the trunk of a Palestinian car, and that the man suffered several stab wounds; the police said the attack carries criminal motives.
The sources said that the car approached an Israeli roadblock in the at-Tour town, in occupied East Jerusalem, but the driver sped away when the police tried to stop him.
The Police chased the car, and called for backup, before the car rammed into a number of parked vehicles.
Israeli Ynet News said the police found two Palestinians, aged 19 and 20, in the car, before hearing the wounded Israeli man, age 60, calling for help from the car’s truck, and that the man was found stabbed and tied up.
