Israeli Border Police officers thwarted a stabbing attack in Al-Eizariya, located near Ma'ale Adumim on the outskirts of eastern Jerusalem.

Officers stopped a Palestinian suspect for questioning, who drew a knife and attempted to stab them.

The officers opened fire in response, killing the suspect. No other injuries were reported.

Two Israelis were wounded on Dec. 31 in a Palestinian stabbing attack at the Mishor Adumim industrial zone in Ma'ale Adumim.

Magen David Adom paramedics treated the victims, both security guards, before evacuating them, conscious and in stable condition, according to Hadassah Medical Center on Jerusalem's Mount Scopus.

Six Israelis were wounded in August in Ma'ale Adumim when a 20-year-old Palestinian from Al-Eizariya (also known as Bethany) opened fire with a handgun outside the main shopping mall in the city.

An off-duty Border Police officer shot and killed the terrorist, who was found to have also been armed with a knife.
