An American-Israeli seriously injured in an attack by two Palestinian suspects died from his wounds on Tuesday, Israeli media reported. 

Richard Lakin, 76, was shot in the head and stabbed in the upper body by two Palestinian suspects, Bahaa Elayyan and Bilal Abu-Ghanem, on Oct. 13.

Two other Israelis were killed in the attack, which took place on a bus in the neighborhood of East Talpiot.

Both assailants were shot dead by Israeli forces.

To date, nearly 60 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of the month across the occupied Palestinian territory and at least ten Israelis have been killed in attacks by Palestinians, many of which have taken place in occupied East Jerusalem.
