we have conflicting reports on that, but he was crossing from -- he was crossing back in to ramallah, and from what we understand, it was -- he actually tried to carry out two stabbings in the sense that he first tried to stab an israeli border guard. he was shot at the first time, then as he was laying on the ground, an israeli explosive expert came to search him to make sure if he didn't have anything else on him, and that's when the young man pulled a second knife and actually managed to slightly nvrnling the israeli expert of explosives. at that point, he was shot dead. this is the first time actually we have such an attack in the ramallah area. we do know now that the crossing is shut down. we don't know for how long that will be. sometimes, it is for a few

hours. sometimes, it's a bit longer. to give you an idea, the cross something important. thousands go through it every day either to go to their jobs or to go to relatives who live in the occupied part of -- in the occupied east jerusalem. it is a life hine line for this part of the west bank. >> right. so we know that that particular checkpoint has been closed but we don't know how long that's going to be for. and what about the response of israeli security forces elsewhere, hoda as the violence continues? >> the response of the israeli security forces we have seen earlier that there has been several -- there have been five attacks or alleged attacks over the last 48 hours in the occupied west bank. before that, all of them were happening on the other side. now, the first one happened in nabalas. three earlier today in hebron

and then this latest one here in ramallah. palestinians will tell you, israelis are using excessive force. each time any of these attacks happen, they are questioned whether the person, the palestinian, was really about to carry out an attack or not. there was circulating about the first attack of the day in hebron. you do see on that video a jewish settler holding a gun. you see a palestinian on the floor, and you see some israeli soldiers who move in, don't take the gun or disarmed the jewish settler as they are dealing with the palestinians laying on the ground. there have been .2 sides of the story. the israelis say the palestinian young man was trying to have -- had a knife in his hand. on the palestinian side, they say the israelis are the ones who put the knife next to his body as he was lying on the ground.

now, whatever the details at the end of the day, it all of these continuous attacks and certainly from a palestinian side is viewed as an excessive use of force. they keep on saying there are less soldiers than are wounded than palestinians that are killed. in today's four attacks, only report according to israeli army in their statements, only one female border guard was slightly injured, and later on today, the second explosive expert. so you do have this up r or over an excessive use of force. israel on this side said it is doing it in self defense and has to neutralize these young palestinians before they actually carry out the attack. >> thank you very much, hoda abdel hamyd in the west bank. it's not just the attack that took place at the colu check po between west bank and jerusalem. also, another attack in hebron in the southern west bank, an

placed on the body of the palestinian the settler has just shot. the deep divide betweenisi and palestinian is reflected in an urgent meeting of the u.n. security counsel where the representatives of each side exchanged blame for the crisis. the israeli prime minister is due to meet u.s. secretary of state, john kerry, in germany on wednesday and will prenticis's view of events. but in palestinian eyes, the root cause of the conflict lies in israel's control of the old city and, in particular, the control of exercise of access to the mosque compound. the international court calls for leaders to reto calm dealing with sequences rather than the cause and palestinian leaders insist the februarius of dproemas should be the core issue. what exactly does israel mean when it says it intoendz preserving the status quo of what it calls the temple mount? the arrangement by which access
