In the Monday morning incident, Border Police officers in al-Eizariya noticed an individual who aroused their suspicions.
During his security inspection, the individual drew a knife from under his coat and began a number of attempts to stab a Border Police officer, who immediately responded together with other officers. Precise fire was used, and the terrorist, a 14-year-old resident of Jerusalem, was neutralized.
The terrorist was later identified as Wadia Shadi Sa'ad Alian, a 14-year-old student in Abu Dis who lives in the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood of Jerusalem.
