An Israeli man was stabbed and moderately hurt in a terror attack carried out by a Palestinian teenager in East Jerusalem on Wednesday, police and medics said.
The 64-year-old was waiting at a bus station in northeast Jerusalem’s Neve Yaakov neighborhood when a 14-year-old Palestinian from East Jerusalem attacked him.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said its medics took the victim to Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus in the capital. The medical center said he was listed in moderate condition.
Police said officers detained the alleged stabber.
The teenager had initially fled the scene after stabbing the man but was caught a short while later in the area.
Law enforcement officials described the stabbing as a terror attack.
The attack came less than a day after a Palestinian teenager stabbed and seriously wounded a soldier in the northern West Bank. Earlier Wednesday, hospital officials said the soldier’s condition had improved.
Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have risen in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza following the October 7 massacre, which saw Hamas terrorists kill about 1,200 people and kidnap 253.
