The shooting took place in West Jerusalem, near the boundary
with the city’s eastern sector.
The Magen David Adom emergency services said the
Palestinian man who was about 20 years old and was evacuated "in serious
condition".
The Israeli, in his mid-30s, was lightly injured, it added.
"Jerusalem police officers ... opened fire to neutralize
the suspect," the police said in a statement.
Police were seen collecting bloodied clothing from the
assailant.
Earlier this month, Israeli forces killed two Palestinians
in two separate incidents in
Jerusalem’s Old City.
According to Al-Jazeera, dozens of Palestinians have been
killed by Israeli forces in recent months for allegedly attempting to carry out
stabbing or car-ramming attacks. Palestinian rights groups, meanwhile, accuse
the Israeli forces of deliberately killing Palestinians with no risk to their
lives.
Israel captured
East Jerusalem in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War
and later annexed it, in a move considered illegal by the most of the
international community.
Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of their
future state.
