Earlier in the day two Palestinians approached the Tapuah Junction in the West Bank on a scooter and attempted to stab a border guard. The guard was lightly injured and the assailants were shot by another guard at the junction.
This comes as 13 year-old Ahmed Mansara, who stabbed and wounded two Israelis in the East Jerusalem settlement of Pigat Ze'ev earlier in the month, was charged with attempted murder and possession of a knife, on Friday morning.
Mansara, who Mahmoud Abbas said had been “executed” by Israeli security forces was revealed to in fact be recovering in an Israeli hospital.
