An Arab terrorist stabbed two people at the Ammunition Hill light rail stop in Yerushalayim Friday afternoon, close to 1:15 pm local time.
One, a 22 year-old yeshiva student and US citizen, is suffering from stab wounds to his upper body.
A second victim, 20, is also in moderate condition, suffering wounds to his lower body – possibly from the gunfire which neutralized the terrorist.
Magen David Adom (MDA) medics have transported both to the hospital for treatment, where they are listed as being in moderate condition; they are both stable and conscious. The 22 year-old is currently being treated in Shaare Tzedek; the 20 year-old, at Hadassah Ein-Kerem medical center.
Security forces shot the terrorist on-site, neutralizing him; he is currently in critical condition. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld confirmed to AFP about 40 minutes after the attack that the terrorist is a 23 year-old man.
Police later confirmed he held an Israeli ID, as many Arab residents of Yerushalayim do.
“An initial investigation reveals that the terrorist stabbed one civilian and attempted to stab another,” the Israel Police released shortly before 2:00 pm. “Security guards, civilians, and Border Police neutralized him.”
