More Violence Breaks Out Today in Jerusalem; Israeli Police Shoot, Kill Man Wielding a Knife

Violence has broken out again today (October 14, 2015) near Jerusalem's Damascus Gate Plaza, where Israeli police shot and killed a Palestinian man armed with a knife, according to the CNN website.

Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the incident began when border police saw a man who seemed nervous and suspicious to them.

As officers approached him, Samri said, he lunged at them with a knife. The man then ran toward another police unit, members of which yelled out, "He's a terrorist," before they fatally shot him, Samri said.

The Israel Security Agency identified the perpetrator as Basel Sider, 19, of the West Bank city of Hebron. He had no record, the agency said.
