Two Israeli officers injured in stabbing attack in Jerusalem

Two Israeli Border Police officers were seriously wounded in a stabbing terror attack by Herod’s Gate in Jerusalem's Old City on Monday morning, Israel Police confirmed, reported from The Jerusalem Post.

One officer was critically wounded and another was lightly wounded. The attack occurred near an Israel Police station in Jerusalem, according to reports.

The terrorist, a 16-year-old from the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya, was killed by officers responding at the scene of the attack. One person was also arrested in suspicion of aiding the attacker.

Magen David Adom paramedics treated the two wounded officers, both in their 20s, before rushing them to Hadassah-University Medical Center in Jerusalem for further treatment.

Border Police officers began collecting evidence at the scene and scanning the area to rule out the possibility of other accomplices in the attack.
