Three Palestinians have been shot dead by Israeli occupation troops in the occupied al-Quds over an alleged stabbing attack.
The three Palestinians were killed on Friday near the Damascus Gate, which is one of the main entrances to the Old City of the occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds.
Eyewitnesses said the Israeli forces opened heavy fire randomly in the crowded area. The shooting coincided with the call for Maghrib prayer when Muslims break their fast.
Reports said a female Israeli soldier was killed and two settlers were injured in the incident.
The occupied Palestinian territories have witnessed new tensions ever since Israeli forces introduced restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem al-Quds in August 2015.
More than 300 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli forces in the tensions since the beginning of October 2015.
