Palestinian Stabs Israeli in Jerusalem
(Ha'aretz) Nir Hasson - Avraham Elmaliah, 21, was returning home from prayers at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Saturday when he was stabbed in the back and the neck by a Palestinian near Damascus Gate. The assailant then ran toward an Israeli Border Policeman before being shot by him and another officer. The attacker, Mohammed Shawkat Salameh, 23, was in Israel illegally. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said the officers "operated as expected of Israeli officers," while Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called the shooting "a war crime."
