Two Assailants Killed in Three Jerusalem Stabbing Attacks [View all]

After two weeks of relative calm in the capital, one stabbing two attempted attacks take place; three of the four assailants were shot, and two of them succumbed to their wounds.

After two weeks of relative calm in Jerusalem, one stabbing attack and two attempted attacks took place in East Jerusalem and the Old City on Tuesday afternoon.

Two Palestinian youths, a 12- and 13-year-old, stabbed a security guard on the Jerusalem Light Rail in the Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood of East Jerusalem. The victim was moderately wounded.

The security guard apparently managed to shoot one the assailants, and the other was apprehended by security forces.

Magen David Adom paramedics arrived on the scene at the light rail station on Aluf Yekutiel Adam Street and treated the 25-year-old guard. They transferred him to Shaare Zedek Medical Center for treatment with stab wounds to the upper body.

You haven't made any argument, period. Your beliefs are based on pure fantasy, like I said. Jefferson23 Nov 2015 #27

What's stopping Palestinians there from being doctors or lawyers? Nothing. shira Nov 2015 #28
