In the other incident, two attackers armed with a knife and a gun were shot by an Israeli police officer with at least two bystanders also reportedly hurt.
“The idea that this was some kind of a coordinated event, potentially, with multiple attackers is less frequent,” Al Jazeera’s Harry Fawcett, reporting from occupied East Jerusalem, said.
Reports say security operatives had a torrid time in the area following the incident as angry onlookers gathered in the area with police trying to push hundreds o people out of the Old City.
