A 22-year-old Israeli woman was stabbed by a 14-year-old Palestinian near the city of Modi’in on Wednesday in an apparent terrorist attack, Israeli media reported.

The attack took place at the Maccabim Junction on Route 443.

The woman, who was not named in the report, was taken in stable condition to Sheba Medical Center Tel Hashomer, where she was treated for a stab wound in her upper body. She was later listed as being in light condition.

Afterwards, the youth was spotted attempting to flee the scene by Border Police driving on Route 443, who gave chase on foot, firing warning shots in the air. They captured the suspect a few hundred meters from the site of the stabbing.

“One year later, it’s remarkable how much has changed. The situation is far from perfect, but the progress is real, and the world is better for it.”
“I believe it is a potential game changer for our system,” Rabbi Binyamin Krauss, principal of SAR Academy in Riverdale, told JNS. “This is a huge win for New York.”
“What we are seeing in Europe today is pure scapegoating. What we are seeing in Europe today is that blaming the Jews has become, once again, the default mode,” said the Israeli president.
