Dressed from head to toe in a Father Christmas outfit, a Palestinian man is shown throwing a tear gas capsule at Israeli security forces today.

The violence was part of a protest against the separation barrier and Jewish settlement construction at Bil’in Village, in Ramallah, in the West Bank of Jerusalem.

Elsewhere, a knife-wielding Palestinian man wounded two Israeli border police officers at the entrance to Jerusalem’s Old City.

The attacker stabbed an officer in the neck and wounded the other at the Lion’s Gate in east Jerusalem, before fleeing.

The stabbing is the latest in a string of Palestinian attacks in recent months against Israelis that have included deadly assaults with guns, knives and vehicles.
