Rotter Net mentioned that according to preliminary information, the operation is likely for nationalistic, and not criminal, motives.

The Israeli occupation forces claimed that the man who carried out the operation was arrested, and the Channel Seven website confirmed that the Shin Bet has intervened in his interrogation. 

In their part, Palestinian agencies reported that the Israeli police arrested a Palestinian youth from Jenin on charges of stabbing an Israeli, this afternoon, in Yafa.

The Israeli occupation police divulged details that an unidentified person approached a couple walking and stabbed the man, injuring him moderately. He then fled the scene.

They added that following a thorough search and chase operation, with aerial backup, the Palestinian youth was arrested inside a building near the operation site, and he was brought in for questioning.

Al Mayadeen correspondent reported earlier today that one Israeli soldier was killed and others were injured, one of whom is in critical condition, following a shooting operation carried out at Bab al-Silsila in occupied al-Quds.

And the Channel Seven website announced that the dead soldier is Eliyahu David Kay who works in the “Western Wall Heritage Foundation” (Al-Buraq).
