An Israeli Border Police officer was lightly wounded in a terrorist stabbing attack outside Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday night.

Magen David Adom personnel treated a fully conscious 20-year-old male in mild condition before evacuating him to the hospital.

Israeli authorities confirmed the victim was attacked at the Damascus Gate in the eastern part of the capital.

“Large police and Border Police forces are on the scene. The terrorist tried to escape into the Old City and was neutralized,” added the authorities. The terrorist’s condition was not immediately clear.

Last month, a Border Police officer was lightly wounded in a terrorist stabbing attack on the Route 60 highway near the tunnel checkpoint at the entrance to Bethlehem on the outskirts of southern Jerusalem.

The 20-year-old female officer was administered medical treatment and evacuated to the capital’s Hadassah Medical Center with minor wounds.

On July 16, Border Police shot and killed a terrorist after he stabbed and lightly wounded one of them in Samaria. The Palestinian assailant was subsequently identified as a 19-year-old resident of the Gaza Strip.

Liz Berney, of ZOA, told JNS that the organization is “pleased that the Supreme Court and the appellate court properly dismissed this baseless case outright.”
“The meeting went very well,” the president wrote. “The United States is going to work with Lebanon in order to help it protect itself from Hezbollah.”
“Missouri stands with Israel and its people and we want to make sure that the world understands that,” the governor said while signing the bill.
“Academic freedom does not include platforming terrorists,” the LawFare Project stated, calling the event “institutional normalization of terrorism.”
Kimberly Richey, assistant secretary for civil rights at the U.S. Department of Education, stated that “no child should be taught by his or her teachers to hate their peers.”
After online radicalization, the man made two attempts to fly to Somalia to support ISIS, according to prosecutors.
