Two men were killed and two others were wounded in an attack in the Old City in Jerusalem on Saturday. 

The attacker was shot dead by security forces, Haaretz reported.

According to paramedics, as well as the two dead, a woman in her 40s was in serious condition, and a two-year-old toddler suffered a light injury. They were taken to Jerusalem-area hospitals where they are receiving medical care.

The four, all members of the same ultra-Orthodox family, were apparently on their way to the Western Wall when they were attacked. 

According to the police, after the stabbing, the assailant shot at police using a gun he obtained from one of the wounded. He was then shot dead.
