BIn an attack by a Palestinian in East Jerusalem, an Israeli border policeman was accidentally shot dead by a security guard. This was announced by the police on Monday evening. When checking a bus at a military barrier, a 13-year-old attacked the border police with a knife. The civilian security guard then shot the attacker and accidentally fatally injured the border police officer. The suspect fled but was later arrested.
