A 65-year-old settler was injured today, Wednesday, in a stabbing attack near the “Neve Yaakov” settlement neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem.

According to the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, the Israeli police arrested a 14-year-old boy on suspicion of carrying out the operation less than an hour after it occurred.

The Authority indicated that the settler suffered injuries described as minor to moderate.

The Israeli forces closed the Qalandiya checkpoint north of occupied Jerusalem in both directions, and prevented the passage of citizens back and forth, as well as vehicles, causing the detention of thousands of citizens moving between the city of Jerusalem and its north.

The Israeli forces also closed the roads in the Beit Hanina neighborhood, north of occupied Jerusalem, and began chasing a vehicle claiming that its driver had carried out a stabbing attack in the “Neve Yaqoub” colony established on citizens’ lands north of occupied Jerusalem, and announced the arrest of the driver.
