The Israeli occupation forces killed a Palestinian on Tuesday over stabbing killing a man and injuring at least 10 others in Jaffa Port, the Jerusalem Post reported.

According to a medical center, one victim evacuated to the hospital succumbed to his wounds, which were sustained in the attack. 

The Israeli police said the attacker began stabbing people near the entrance to the Jaffa Port, wounding a number people to varying degrees.
