Images reportedly from the scene showed Israeli police standing near a settler lying on the ground. Israeli police and medics were at the scene.
Israeli media sources claimed that an Israeli settler in his 40s was stabbed in the head by a Palestinian man near the Ramot Junction in Occupied Jerusalem.
The suspected stabber was taken to a hospital where he was listed as being in moderate condition police said.
A spokesperson for the Hamas Movement Hazem Qassem said the stabbing was an “act of heroism” adding that it was a “natural response to the crimes of the occupation against the holy places of Islam and Christianity in Jerusalem.”
“The attack once again emphasizes the failure of attempts to stop the resistance in the occupied West Bank and the city of Jerusalem” he added.
