According to the Zionist security forces, they shot the  Palestinian man on Monday morning, claiming that he had drawn a knife at them at the al-Mazmoria checkpoint near the occupied East al-Quds.

Palestinian media reported that the Palestinian man was seriously injured and taken to the hospital. However, a Zionist website reported the condition of the Palestinian man as moderate.

Palestinian sources also pointed out that the Zionist forces have closed the checkpoint in al-Mazmoria and strengthened the presence of their forces.

Recently with the expansion of the Zionist regime's settlements and the Zionists' insult to the Islamic holy places in Quds, especially the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the martyrdom operations of Palestinians against the Zionists have increased.

The Zionist regime has increased the number of its forces in various parts of Palestine and has taken strict security measures in fear of more martyrdom operations.
