A 14-year-old Palestinian was shot dead after he reportedly stabbed an Israeli man by the light rail in occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday night.

The Israeli man was moderately wounded in the stabbing, after which an off-duty police officer shot the minor dead.

Later in the evening, a group of Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles in the city.

According to local sources, settlers threw stones at Palestinian cars, which smashed the windows of a number of passing vehicles.
