The detention of three Palestinians from the Shuafat refugee camp, who are accused of carrying out attacks in Jerusalem yesterday, has been extended by a court in the capital.

A 13-year-old Palestinian who allegedly stabbed an Israeli teenager in Jerusalem’s Old City, lightly injuring him, will remain held until February 19, police say, following a remand hearing at the Jerusalem’s Magistrate’s Court.

A 14-year-old Palestinian who stabbed a police officer at a checkpoint near the camp will also remain held until February 19. The officer, who was also hit by so-called friendly fire, succumbed to his wounds.

A third Palestinian who allegedly attempted to ram officers while they operated in the East Jerusalem camp last night, will also remain held until February 19.
