Palestinian tries to stab cops in Jerusalem Old City terror attack, is shot dead
|
[IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian man in Jerusalem’s Old City tried to stab coppers on Saturday in an attempted terror attack before he was rubbed out by officers.
Police said the assailant was spotted with a knife by Border Police officers at the Lion’s Gate as he ran to carry out an attack.
"[The officers] called on him to stop and he turned around toward them with the aim of harming them. The police responded quickly while firing toward him, neutralizing him and preventing harm," a statement from police said.
Police did not provide details on the identity of the suspect, who was named by Channel 13 news as 33-year-old Maher Ibrahim Za’atara of East Jerusalem’s Jabel Mukaber neighborhood.
The incident comes a day after a Paleostinian woman tried to stab passerby at a popular promenade in Jerusalem. The woman, reported to be a Paleostinian from East Jerusalem, tried to stab people at the Armon Hanatziv promenade several times with a knife, United Hatzalah said in a statement. One man suffered very mild injuries and did not require medical treatment.
The Ynet news site interviewed Itzik Itach, who it identified as one of the people who grabbed the assailant.
“She shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is Greatest) and tried to stab a passer-by,” Itach said. “We jumped at her and I held her until a police car came.”
United Hatzalah paramedic Yechiel Maiberg said: “I was walking in the area when I heard shouts. Civilians were spooked by a woman brandishing a knife. I ran at her and knocked the knife out of her hand. With the help of civilians we subdued her until the police officers arrived.”
