The Jerusalem District Court on Thursday imposed a week-long gag order on the investigation into a stabbing that left a woman in her 70s seriously wounded in the capital city’s downtown area.

The Israel Police said that the probe into the incident was ongoing, stressing that “all directions of the investigation are being examined.”

In a possible indication that terrorism is suspected, the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) is involved in the investigation.

Around noon on Thursday, the Magen David Adom emergency medical service received a report about a woman who was found wounded inside a home on Koresh Street near Jerusalem City Hall.

MDA medics provided first aid to the 74-year-old victim and evacuated her to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in serious condition.

The court-issued gag order on the case is valid until Dec. 26.
