One of the victims in Friday morning’s terror attack in the Old City of Jerusalem has been identified as a 16-year-old boy, who was attacked as he made his way from morning prayers at a local synagogue back to his yeshiva.
“On his way back from the Hurva synagogue to the yeshiva, someone jumped him from one of the courtyards,” the victim’s father told Reshet Bet.
“The ridiculous thing is that at the beginning, the police told him to ‘Get out of here’, they didn’t understand that he was wounded. He walked to the synagogue to call for help.”
The victim had been learning overnight at his yeshiva, then went to the Hurva synagogue for morning prayers.
“At first he didn’t realize that he had been stabbed by a knife,” his father continued, “he thought he had been punched in the back. His brother was with him, and they started to run towards the Hurva synagogue, and there they called for help.”
During the terror attack another victim, estimated to be about 50 years of age, was also stabbed, leaving him in critical condition. He was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center. He has been admitted to the hospital’s intensive care ward, and is unconscious and on assisted breathing.
Authorities say the terrorist entered the Old City at around 6:20 a.m. via Damascus Gate, stabbed his first victim on a side street, then fled the scene. As he ran, the terrorist spotted his second victim, stabbing him before being shot to death by Israeli police officers.
"Police units that responded at the scene saw the attacker with a knife. The attacker was shot and killed by police units," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

No big deal, it's just their culture, and all cultures are equally valid. I guess the ladies, Arab Uber driver kicks 2 Jewish woman out of car should consider themselves lucky.
The stabber could get a street or something named after him, wonder if CAIR will put the Uber drivers picture up on a wall of honor.
It’s not as if he stabbed anyone important, like a movie star.
“...before being shot to death by Israeli police officers.”
Definitely the best line in this story.
Happy endings. Sigh.
That’s just cruel! Attacking a guy who has already been stabbed. /s
