Two Israelis have been killed and three injured in separate attacks in Jerusalem by Palestinians who were then shot dead by police.

Police have now banned Palestinians from East Jerusalem from entering the Old City for two days.

The latest violence comes two days after an Israeli couple were shot dead in the West Bank.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to hold emergency talks with security officials on Sunday.

The restrictions will stop Palestinians from entering the Old City unless they live there. But Israelis, local business owners and schoolchildren will be allowed in.

The first stabbing incident took place on Saturday evening, just after the end of the Jewish Sabbath, close to Lion's Gate in the Old City.
