Hadassah Medical Center has said that the terrorist who carried out a Thursday evening stabbing attack near Jerusalem worked in the medical center.
According to Hadassah, the terrorist was employed by an external contracting company which provides cleaning services to the center.
"The Medical Center's management was shocked, and it fiercely condemns the despicable terror attack," a statement read. "Hadassah management has instructed the contracting company to examine all of those employed by it, as is necessary, in order to ensure that only appropriate employees are sent to the hospital."
