Two Jews Lightly Wounded in East Jerusalem Stabbing
Two Jewish men sustained minor injuries after being stabbed outside a religious seminary in east Jerusalem, Israeli media reported.
Magen David Adom Paramedics rushed to the scene to treat the wounded men: A 24-year-old who sustained a back injury and a 21 year old who was wounded in the head, MDA said.
The attack occured at the Beit Orot yeshiva near the Mount of Olives. According to the news site Ynet, the victims said their attackers were Arabs. The report did not say how many suspected perpetrators were involved.
The victims were evacuated to Hadassah Medical Center as security forces began searching for the attackers near the scene of the incident.
Earlier this week, four people were killed in an attack perpetrated by two Palestinian terrorists inside a synagogue in western Jerusalem.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
