Two people are wounded in a suspected stabbing attack at a checkpoint near Jerusalem, police and medics say.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service says its medics are treating a woman in her 20s and a man aged 25 at the Mazmuria checkpoint near the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Har Homa.
MDA says both are in moderate condition.
The alleged assailant was shot by security forces at the scene, police say in a statement.
According to a Times of Israel reporter who witnessed the attack, the assailant got out of a car and attacked officers guarding the checkpoint, before being shot by one of the victims.
