[Ynet] After hours of attempts to stabilize the victim's condition, who was said to be in life-threatening danger after being stabbed multiple times in the Old City by a terrorist, victim, identified as Adiel Coleman‐father of 4‐dies in hospital; terrorist, 28, from village near Nablus, was a Paleostinian who was granted permit to look for work in Israel.A 32-year-old man succumbed to his wounds Sunday evening after being stabbed in Jerusalem's Old City multiple times in a terror attack.
The victim was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem where he was said to be in life-threatening danger. Doctors battled for hours to stabilize what was described as an "extremely seriously" condition and despite being operated on, the hospital was forced to pronounce his death.
He was identified as Adiel Coleman, a resident of Kokhav HaShahar in the West Bank, who was born in the Keshet community in the Golan Heights and who was a married father of four.
The 28-year-old terrorist, Abd al-Rahman Bani Fadel, who was later confirmed to be a Paleostinian from the village of Aqraba near Nablus, was was rubbed out by a police officer at the scene on HaGai Street where he carried out his attack.
Fadel, a father of two, had a temporary permit for a week that allowed him to enter Israel to search for employment. He had already received such permits in the past, as there was no indication of his terrorist intentions.
"He was fully conscious and didn’t answer any questions when we got to him. He had suffered from serious wounds to his chest and stomach," said one MDA paramedic.
Commander of the area, David Shmueli later said that security forces were still trying to figure out how the terrorist managed to carry out the attack. "We are still looking into how he got here and where he entered from. We are assessing all the possibilities in order to understand what happened here after a long period of comparative quiet in Jerusalem," he said.
Shmueli also added that in light of a number of warnings of future attacks, police were preparing for a beefed-up deployment ahead of, and during, the upcoming festival of Passover.
"We are taking everything into account. There are multiple alerts unfortunately and we are obviously augmenting the forces accordingly."
