    “A man about 60-years-old was sitting near the the Lions’ Gate with a stab wound on the upper portion of his body,” said Israel Weingarten, a paramedic who arrived on the scene to treat the victim. “He was fully conscious and told us that he was stabbed in an alleyway and ran toward the Lions’ Gate to reach the security forces stationed there.”

    The victim is “a Jewish man, approximately 60 years old,” according to a police spokesperson, who said that the man approached the police “and reported that he had been stabbed on Haldia St.” A knife was subsequently found on the street during a police search and a manhunt is underway for suspects, the police said.

    The victim is in moderate condition and remained conscious throughout. He received initial treatment by paramedics and was sent to Shaare Zedek Medical Center for further treatment.

    Police are sweeping the area in search of the attacker. One suspect has been detained for questioning but the search is ongoing..

    Has security been loosened after Pesach? I hope not.

    Since the terror was not cut off at the roots how does one expect to stop every Palestinian? Abbas should’ve been shot or imprisoned years ago. at the end of the day the big talking Israelis who always so you will regret it, are willing to have collateral damage in their fear of anti Semitic world media coverage. For people who are do brilliant, this is illogical and dumb!

    My Israeli friends have been trying to assure me that things are safer now, but I think the only people they’re reassuring are themselves. It’s tough living in a country which is yours in name alone, where every day, you’re putting yourself at risk of ending up like this gentleman … and countless others.
