A teenager was the latest Israeli to be stabbed as violent attacks continued across the country.

The victim, thought to be aged 13, was knifed in the Pisgat Ze'ev neighbourhood of Jerusalem while riding his bike. He is said to be in a serious condition.

A second man, aged 20, was also stabbed during the incident at around 3pm local time.

It is believed they were attacked by two terrorists. Both were reportedly shot dead by security forces. One of the attackers is thought to have only been 12 years old himself.
