Two settlers were injured today, Saturday, in a shooting operation in occupied Jerusalem, carried out by a Palestinian boy before he was shot and injured.

Hebrew media reported that two settlers were injured in a shooting attack near a settlement outpost in the Silwan suburb of occupied Jerusalem.

The occupation forces acknowledged that the operation was a suicide operation, and the spokesman for the occupation police said in a statement: The background of the operation was “nationalistic” (i.e. suicide), and that the (Zionist) forces in the area “neutralized” the perpetrator of the shooting operation, which most likely means that those forces executed the perpetrator in the field, or that they seriously wounded him and controlled him.

Hebrew media reported that the occupation forces arrested the perpetrator of the Silwan operation, and that he is 13 years old, and used a pistol in the attack.
