Israeli police say a 38-year-old Palestinian attacked two border police officers with a knife.

The man is said to have slightly wounded one of the officers before being shot.

The latest attack raises the death toll to 102 Palestinians killed since early October.

21 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.
