Jerusalem – Security Guard Succumbs To Injuries Hours After Old City Attack

Jerusalem – A man in his 30s succumbed to his wounds Sunday evening after being stabbed in Jerusalem’s Old City multiple times in a terror attack.

The victim was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem where he was said to be in life-threatening danger. Doctors battled for hours to stabilize what was described as an “extremely seriously” condition and despite being operated on, the hospital was forced to pronounce his death.

The victim, a security guard, was evacuated to a Jerusalem hospital where doctors tried in vain to save his life.

The 28-year-old terrorist, Abd al-Rahman Bani Fadel, who was later confirmed to be a Palestinian from the village of Aqraba near Nablus, was was shot dead by a police officer at the scene on HaGai Street where he carried out his attack.

Fadel, a father of two, had a temporary permit for a week that allowed him to enter Israel to search for employment. He had already received such permits in the past, as there was no indication of his terrorist intentions.
