Two occupation soldiers were injured as a result of the stabbing operation in the Old City of al-Quds, Israeli media reported.
According to Al Mayadeen's reporter, the information indicates that the martyr is a 16-year-old Palestinian child who carried out a stabbing operation against the Israeli occupation forces.
Local sources reported that the operation was carried out by martyr Omar Ibrahim Abu Asab, from the town of al-Isawiya, in the occupied al-Quds.
The sources added that occupation forces arrested the father, mother, and brother of martyr Abu Asab.

Resistance factions bless the heroic operation
For his part, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem considered the heroic operation a continuation of the Palestinians' revolution against the occupation until liberation.
He noted that the operation reflects the inability of the occupier to stop the Palestinians' uprising, despite all the occupation's criminal policies.
Qassem also stressed that this battle will not end except with the victory of Palestinians, which are the owners of the land, right, and history.
In turn, the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine blessed the heroic operation and affirmed that it comes in the context of the natural response to the continuing crimes of the Zionist occupation against Palestinians.
A spokesman for the movement in the West Bank, Tariq Ezz el-Din, saluted the fighting spirit of the rebellious youth of Palestine and pledged that the occupation will not enjoy comfort or security as long as it continues destroying the homes of Palestinians and displacing them.
The Popular Resistance Committees in Palestine said the stabbing operation is a response to all Zionist crimes against the Palestinian land and people and pointed out that resistance operations will not stop.
This comes at a time when the Israeli occupation forces launched Wednesday a campaign of raids and arrests that targeted several citizens in the West Bank and the occupied al-Quds.
