An Israeli settler today stabbed a Palestinian bus driver in West Jerusalem, according to local sources.

Khaled Abu Tayeh, a member of the Silwan Land Defense Committee, said that a settler stabbed Mohammad Abu-Nab, a bus driver, twice in the back in West Jerusalem’s Givat Shaul neighborhood, built on the ruins of the depopulated village of Deir Yassin.

Abu-Nab, a resident of the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, was rushed to a hospital for urgent treatment, where medics described his injury as moderate.
