In a separate incident next to the Lions' Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City, another individual was injured after being struck by a rock and was taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center
During scours of At-Tur, policemen and Israel Border Police identified a 15-year-old resident of the neighborhood fleeing the scene after throwing stones. As the security personnel pursued the assailant, he continued to throw rocks in their direction before eventually being apprehended and taken in for questioning.
Last Saturday a Border Police officer was stabbed near Har Adar, outside Mevaseret Zion and was taken to the hospital in what authorities described as fair condition.
According to the Border Police, during operational activities conducted by the Border Police by the fence encircling Har Adar, the attacker burst out of bushes where he had been hiding, and stabbed the officer before fleeing the scene.
