No evidence of ISIS link to Jerusalem attack

None

Israeli authorities said on Saturday they had found no evidence of IslISIS involvement in attacks by three Palestinians that killed an Israeli policewoman, despite the group's claim of responsibility.

 

Palestinian militant factions also denied ISIS was involved in the attacks in Jerusalem on Friday, in which a second Israeli police officer was wounded. Israel Police spokeswoman Luba Simri also said the Israeli military had so far found no connection between the three assailants and any armed group.

 

ISIS's claim of responsibility was reported by the group's Amaq news agency on Friday and is reported to be the first time the group has claimed any Israeli terror attack as its own.
