局势一直紧张的耶路撒冷东部老城地区星期一再次发生暴力,一名试图用刀刺杀一名以色列警察的袭击者被击毙。

以色列国防军的一位发言人表示,袭击发生在狮子门附近,刀子从警察身上的防护服滑过。

这是发生在耶路撒冷一连串袭击中的最新一起。攻击事件与圣地有关。穆斯林称这块圣地为阿克萨清真寺、而犹太人称之为圣殿山。

巴勒斯坦人对以色列在他们未来希望建国的土地上持续建造定犹太人居点不满,指责以色列人试图限制他们进入这处圣地。但是,以色列予以否认,并指称巴勒斯坦激进分子煽动市民骚乱。

The tense Old City section of east Jerusalem saw another violent encounter Monday when an attacker tried to stab an Israeli policeman before being shot dead.

A spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces said the attack happened near the Lions Gate and that the knife was deflected by the policeman's protective vest.

The incident is the latest in a wave of attacks to take place in Jerusalem linked to the holy site that Muslims call the al-Aqsa mosque and Jews call the Temple Mount.

Palestinians, already frustrated by continued Jewish settlements in lands they want for a future state, accuse Israelis of trying to restrict them from the site.  Israel denies the charge and accuses Palestinian militants of inciting citizens to riot.
