A young woman was seriously wounded and a young man was moderately wounded in a stabbing attack at the Mizmoria Checkpoint south of Jerusalem this evening (Thursday).
Magen David Adom (MDA) medics and paramedics provided medical treatment on the spot to the two victims, who were then evacuated to Shaarei Tzedek Medical Center.
One of the victims shot and neutralized the terrorist, who was identified as a 23-year-old resident of the Arab neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber who possessed an Israeli identity card.
The victims were identified as members of the security forces who were operating at the checkpoint.
The attack occurred near the Har Homa neighborhood.
Gush Etzion Mayor Shlomo Ne'eman said in response to the attack: "We are fighting against a cruel enemy. The enemy is the same in Gaza, in the north, and in Judea and Samaria. And we are the ones on the right side of history. This attack ended the way every attack should end: with a dead terrorist. I wish those wounded in the attack a speedy recovery.”
