Palestinian kills 1, hurts 4 before police shoot him dead

JERUSALEM (AP) — A Palestinian assailant killed one Israeli and wounded four others near the entrance to a flashpoint Jerusalem holy site before being fatally shot by Israeli police. Police say the violence took place near an entrance to a contested flashpoint shrine known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. Violence surrounding the site, which is considered holy by both faiths, has triggered previous rounds of fighting between Israel and the Palestinians, most recently in May.
