| [IsraelTimes] Police say suspect, a Paleostinian who illegally entered country, has been arrested; victim hospitalized at death's door; conflicting reports on circumstances of attack A man was stabbed and seriously maimed in Jaffa outside Tel Aviv on Wednesday afternoon, police and medics said. The circumstances of the assault and the identity of the victim were not immediately clear. Police said the assailant was a Paleostinian man who had illegally entered Israel and he had been arrested. Police said the motive was apparently a terror attack and identified the victim as a resident of Jaffa. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... the Magen David Adom rescue service identified the victim as a 49-year-old East Jerusalem resident. MDA said he was taken to Wolfson Medical Center in Tel Aviv at death's door with stab wounds. Pictures from police appeared to indicate that the man had been stabbed with a screwdriver while fishing. Police said they were carrying out searches in the area for other suspects. The attack comes with forces on high alert on the eve of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, and the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. There has been a spate of stabbing attacks in recent days, apparently in solidarity with six Paleostinian security prisoners who beat feet from Gilboa Prison last week. Two of the six are still on the run. |
