The latest incident raises the death toll to at least 127 Palestinians killed since early October, with Israeli authorities having described a majority as assailants.
20 Israelis have also been killed.
The violence has been driven by anger over Israel's occupation of the West Bank and disputes over access to the Al Aqsa mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem. Israel has blamed Palestinians for the outbreak of violence.
