Terrorist Stabs Two Israelis; One Dies

An 18-year-old Israeli man was stabbed at a gas station on Highway 443 near Jerusalem and died from his injuries, while another victim was lightly injured. IDF forces at the scene killed the terrorist.

Says ZAKA volunteer Shlomo Gottleib: “I was traveling towards Jerusalem on Route 443 when suddenly I heard a report on the ZAKA beeper about a stabbing attack at the gas station on 443. I arrived on the scene within minutes. A paramedic who was at the scene was treating the critically wounded victim and I joined him in resuscitation efforts. Many soldiers, MDA and ZAKA personnel arrived at the scene but unfortunately, after our resuscitation efforts failed, a doctor pronounced him dead. The terrorist was killed at the scene. The volunteers from the ZAKA Shai region dealt with the body of the victim and cleared the scene of human remains.”

The second victim, a 22 year-old woman, is suffering from light injuries. She was transferred to Shaarei Tzedek Medical Center in Jerusalem for treatment.
