In a recent incident in Jerusalem’s Pisgat Ze’ev neighborhood, an attempted stabbing attack on Israeli security forces was thwarted. A suspected Palestinian terrorist, in his 30s, was shot and wounded by security personnel after he allegedly attempted to stab a security guard.
The incident occurred when the suspect, driving a vehicle, was stopped by security forces. He then exited the vehicle and reportedly advanced towards the guard with a knife. Despite warnings, the suspect continued his advance, prompting security personnel and nearby civilians to open fire.
The wounded suspect was evacuated to a hospital for treatment. Israeli police are investigating the incident and have closed off the area.
Hamas, a Palestinian militant group, praised the attempted attack, calling it a response to Israeli actions.
