An Israeli man is seriously hurt in a suspected terror attack at a checkpoint near the entrance to the Shuafat Refugee Camp in East Jerusalem, medics say.

According to the Rescuers Without Borders emergency service, the alleged assailant was shot by police officers at the scene.

The Israeli victim is semi-conscious, the service says.

It is not immediately clear if the incident is a shooting attack or a stabbing attack, or if the Israeli victim was hit by so-called friendly fire.
