3 Seriously Wounded in Jerusalem Stabbing Attack

Three Israelis were wounded, two seriously and one critically, in a stabbing attack in Jerusalem on Wednesday afternoon, Hebrew media outlets reported.

According to initial reports, two Palestinian men went on a rampage, attempting to murder as many passersby as possible near the Jaffa Gate of the Old City. One of the victims purportedly tackled his assailant and struggled with him for some minutes, as he was being stabbed.

Border Policewomen opened fire on the terrorists, killing one of them and wounding the other. One of the Israeli victims was wounded by bullets aimed at the terrorists.

The wounded terrorist was treated at the scene by paramedics and evacuated along with his victims to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.

This is the latest attack in what has become a near-daily occurrence since the start of the surge in Palestinian terrorism in Israel since September.
