Police officer stabbed by terrorist outside Jerusalem

An Israeli police officer was stabbed in the back by a 'Palestinian' terrorist near the town of Adam, a few minutes outside of Jerusalem, on Monday afternoon. The officer was taken to Jerusalem's Shaare Zedek hospital for treatment. The terrorist was caught.

An Israeli police officer was moderately injured in a stabbing attack Monday afternoon.
The officer was stabbed by an Arab terrorist at the Adam checkpoint north of Jerusalem; he was treated at the scene and then taken for further treatment at a Jerusalem hospital.

IDF soldiers at the scene attempted to arrest the terrorist, but he began running away. Soldiers and police opened fire on him, but he managed to dodge the bullets. The terrorist was apprehended a few minutes later and taken in for questioning.

Monday's attack takes place on the background of Sunday's terror attack in Bat Yam, where a bomb exploded on a bus.

No passengers were reported injured in that attack, but one police officer with the bomb squad was wounded as he attempted to disarm the device.

More 'sacrifices for peace'....
