Two Seriously Injured in Jerusalem Terror Attack
Three terrorists armed with sub-machine guns, knives and bombs open fire on Border Police near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. Two female border police officers aged 19 and 20 have been seriously wounded in a shooting attack.
One of the officers is listed in critical condition and on a respirator, while the condition of the second victim has stabilized somewhat and is now classified as moderate-to-serious.
According to initial reports, three Arab terrorists armed with concealed Carl Gustav sub-machine guns, knives and pipe bombs were spotted acting suspiciously by the two border police officers close to Damascus Gate.
When officers approached, one of the terrorists produced his ID, and another suddenly opened fire, wounding two officers.
Other officers in the vicinity returned fire, eliminating all three.
The terrorists have been identified as Palestinian Arabs from the Jenin area in Samaria.
It is the second attack this week, following Sunday’s shooting attack between Bet El and Ramallah, just north of Jerusalem. The terrorist was identified as a PA policeman and part of an elite protection unit of the force.
Several other attacks have also been thwarted this week by alert police officers, including several planned stabbing attacks.

Good to see the GSS and IDF are alert and on guard stopping these persistent threats. Now it is time to up the game and start “neutralizing” them before they leave the terrorist cesspits from which they hatch.
