Jordanian stabs Israeli officer in Jerusalem, shot dead

A Jordanian man stabbed and wounded an Israeli officer in annexed east Jerusalem today before being shot dead, police said.
The officer was taken to hospital with "moderate" injuries after the attack in the walled Old City, police spokeswoman Louba Samri said in a statement.
Police identified the assailant as a 57-year-old Jordanian man who had been visiting Israel for the past three days.
They said he brandished a knife and stabbed the policeman in one of the alleys of the Old City before the wounded officer shot him dead.
A wave of unrest that broke out in October 2015 has claimed the lives of 263 Palestinians, 41 Israelis, two Americans, two Jordanians, an Eritrean, a Sudanese and a Briton, according to an AFP count.

Most of the Palestinians killed were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, the Israeli authorities say.
Others were shot dead during protests or clashes, while some were killed in Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip.
