以色列打死一名試圖刺殺警察的襲擊者

The tense Old City section of east Jerusalem saw another violent encounter Monday when an attacker tried to stab an Israeli policeman before being shot dead.

A spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces said the attack happened near the Lions Gate and that the knife was deflected by the policeman's protective vest.

The incident is the latest in a wave of attacks to take place in Jerusalem linked to the holy site that Muslims call the al-Aqsa mosque and Jews call the Temple Mount.

Palestinians, already frustrated by continued Jewish settlements in lands they want for a future state, accuse Israelis of trying to restrict them from the site. Israel denies the charge and accuses Palestinian militants of inciting citizens to riot.局勢一直緊張的耶路撒冷東部老城地區星期一再次發生暴力，一名試圖用刀刺殺一名以色列警察的襲擊者被擊斃。

以色列國防軍的一位發言人表示，襲擊發生在獅子門附近，刀子從警察身上的防護服滑過。

這是發生在耶路撒冷一連串襲擊中的最新一起。攻擊事件與聖地有關。穆斯林稱這塊聖地爲阿克薩清真寺、而猶太人稱之爲聖殿山。

巴勒斯坦人對以色列在他們未來希望建國的土地上持續建造定猶太人居點不滿，指責以色列人試圖限制他們進入這處聖地。但是，以色列予以否認，並指稱巴勒斯坦激進分子煽動市民騷亂。
