An attempted stabbing attack has been reported near the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, in the seventh attack in Israel in four days.

No Israelis were wounded and two alleged assailants were subdued at the scene.

Earlier on Monday morning two police officers were wounded during a knife attack in Jerusalem’s Old City.

A 54-year-old policeman was moderately wounded and a 38-year-old female officer left in a serious condition.
