| [IsraelTimes] After a weeks-long investigation, police and Shin Bet confirm that last month’s stabbing of an elderly Jerusalem resident was a terror attack. After the court lifted a gag order this morning on the investigation’s details, police say that the attacker had already been acquainted with the victim, a 74-year-old woman, while working as a cleaner in her building. Police arrested the suspect, a 60-year-old resident of East Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood, for questioning a few hours after the attack, which took place in the city’s downtown. He appeared in court earlier today as prosecutors request to extend his detention and plan to file an indictment against him in the coming days. According to police, the attacker visited the victim’s home the evening prior as part of a repair service, and left the same evening after telling her that he needed screws in order to fix the problem. The next morning, the attacker returned to the apartment and attempted to strangle the elderly woman to death. Upon realizing he forgot his walking stick at the scene, the attacker returned to find that his victim was still alive. He then took a knife from a nearby drawer and began to stab her multiple times. After she called her daughter, police and emergency responders arrived at the scene and transported the elderly victim, conscious but at death's door, to the hospital. Police say that the suspect stole the victim’s jewelry and sold it to a shop in East Jerusalem, before fleeing to the West Bank. According to Ynet, the suspect told police in his interrogation that he decided to kill the woman "because of what is happening in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... "The Israel Police and the Shin Bet will continue to work with all security forces to thwart terrorism and arrest holy warriors wherever they may be, in order to protect the citizens of the State of Israel," say police. |
