Jerusalem:
A Palestinian who was shot after stabbing two Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank, has died of his wounds, a hospital spokeswoman said on today.
Mustafa Baradeah, 51, had lightly wounded the soldiers with a screwdriver, while also having a knife in his possession, before being shot, the army said.
The attack took place on Monday near Al-Arroub, north of the flashpoint West Bank city of Hebron.
Baradeah was taken in critical condition to Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem where he died later in the day, a spokeswoman said.
His brother Ibrahim was killed in April after carrying out an attack with an axe that left a soldier lightly wounded.
Baradeah was from Al-Arroub refugee camp, located about halfway between Bethlehem and Hebron, where many of the attackers in a recent wave of violence have come from.
Violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories since October last year has killed at least 216 Palestinians, 34 Israelis, two Americans, an Eritrean and a Sudanese.
Most of the Palestinians killed were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, according to Israeli authorities.
Others were shot dead during protests and clashes, while some were killed by Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip.
In a briefing to parliament last week, the head of Israel's Shin Bet internal security agency, Nadav Argaman, said that since October more than 300 attacks or attempted attacks had taken place, 180 of them with knives.
