Palestinian killed while trying to stab guard at crossing — police
[IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian man armed with a knife was shot and killed by Israeli security forces as he attempted to stab a guard at a crossing outside Jerusalem Tuesday morning, police said.

The incident occurred at the Qalandiya Crossing north of Jerusalem, which links the capital to the Paleostinian refugee camp of the same name.

The attacker was declared dead of his wounds at the scene, a police spokesperson said. The Paleostinian Health Ministry identified the man as Jihad Mohammad Sa’id Khalil (48), from Beit Wazan, located west of Nablus.

According to police, the assailant walked toward guards manning an area meant for vehicular traffic. When asked for his ID, he drew a knife and "tussled" with a guard. He was then shot by responding forces.

"A Paleostinian terrorist armed with a knife attempted to stab a security guard. The security guard responded at the scene," a police spokesperson said in a statement.

The guard was not hurt.

A spate of stabbings by Paleostinian assailants a year ago has waned over the last six months, though sporadic attacks have persisted.
