Two illegal Israeli settlers were seriously wounded during a shooting in occupied Al-Quds, Al Mayadeen correspondent reported on Saturday, noting that the Israeli occupation police dispatched a large number of officers to the scene.
The two Israeli settlers were seriously injured, and they are in critical condition, Israeli media said, adding that one of them is unconscious.
The Israeli Magen David Adom (Red Star of David) ambulance service had reported earlier that two Israeli settlers were injured in a shooting in occupied Al-Quds, Reuters said, noting that the Palestinian who carried out the shooting was martyred.
A video claimed to be from the shooting in Silwan went viral on social media.

"The issue with these attacks is that there is not a certain party to address, for those carrying them out are individuals with guns, carrying out the attack whenever they wish," Israeli media said following the Silwan shooting.
The Silwan shooting comes less than a day after several illegal Israeli settlers were killed and a dozen others were wounded in the aftermath of a shooting that took place in Nabi Yaqub, occupied Al-Quds.
"Several Israelis were killed during an attack in Al-Quds, but the exact figures cannot be determined," Israeli Channel 13 reported, noting that the Magen David Adom (the Red Star of David) announced that there were more than five dead, with 12 others wounded. According to the final toll, seven Israeli settlers were killed.
Israeli Channel 12 military correspondent Nir Dvori said the shooting in Al-Quds "may be related to what happened in Jenin - an act of retaliation."
The IOF raided the Jenin camp in occupied Palestine's West Bank early on Thursday morning, leaving residents and popular resistance groups with no choice but to defend themselves and confront the occupation forces.
The number of martyrs killed in the raid rose to 10, including 61-year-old elderly Palestinian woman Majeda Obeid. The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that there were several injuries as a result of live munition from the Israeli occupation forces while adding that there were dozens of suffocations as a result of the IOF raiding the Jenin Governmental Hospital.
The IOF prevented ambulance crews from accessing the Jenin Camp, opening fire directly on the emergency vehicles, the Health Ministry said. Meanwhile, photos and videos taken in the camp showed the level of destruction and havoc that the IOF caused all over the refugee camp.
