An Israeli security guard was "lightly wounded" in an alleged stabbing operation at the "Giv’at Hamivtar" light rail station in occupied al-Quds, Israeli media reported on Thursday night citing Israeli occupation police.

The occupation police said a 19-year-old Palestinian who allegedly carried out the operation, identified as Daoud Atiya, was shot by another security guard, adding that he was in serious condition and transferred to a hospital.

"The suspect was neutralized by shooting and a large police force presence under the command of the commander of the Jerusalem district arrived at the location," an Israeli occupation police report confirmed.

According to Israeli media, the light rail service was temporarily frozen following the incident.

Earlier on Thursday, occupation police said a soldier at an Israeli checkpoint north of occupied al-Quds was lightly wounded in an alleged car ramming.

The police claimed that a 38-year-old Palestinian hit the Israeli soldier at Qalandiya checkpoint with his car before being detained by other soldiers.
