Israeli sources stated, Sunday, that a colonialist settler was seriously injured, reportedly after being stabbed by a Palestinian teenage boy, at the entrance of a shopping center near Gush Etzion illegal colony, in the southern part of occupied West Bank.

The wounded Israeli man, 40 years of age, suffered serious wounds to the upper body, before he was rushed to Hadassah Medical Center, in occupied Jerusalem.

The Palestinian, who carried out the reported attack, has been identified Khalil Yousef Jabarin, 16, from Yatta town, south of Hebron.

Israeli daily Haaretz said the Palestinian was shot by a settler, who was passing by, and suffered a moderate injury, and added that dozens of soldiers initiated searches in the Mall and the surrounding areas.

Israeli Ynet News said the incident took place in Harim Shopping Center, which is visited by both Israelis and Palestinians, and added that the shopping center recently decided to close its parking area to all Palestinian vehicles, due to “a large number of previous attacks.”

The army also closed the southern entrance of Bethlehem city, preventing all Palestinian vehicles from entering or leaving it.
